Programme note
The mirror reversed; forcing the onlooker to confront the personal voyeuristic fantasies that are projected upon the revealed image. Rorrim inhabits the liminal space between representation and recognition; it is an interior drama of revelation and reflection in which the viewer sees only their own constructing (and constructed) gaze rather than the visage (visual surface) behind which such processes are normally hidden from conscious view.
The soundtrack reflects this interiority; most events are placed in the centre of the stereo range – as if they were emanating from within the viewer's head. They are perhaps the accompaniment to contemplation rather than adjuncts of the graphic phenomena. (IW)
