Rapture is a tightly controlled visual statement about the abandonment of the self to heightened transportive states. It is also an exploration of the similarity between 'religious' and 'visionary' ecstasy and psychotic states. It illustrates the inarticulateness of pain - the inadequacy of a recording device to capture the radical subjectivity of pain, or ecstasy.
