Made in collaboration with Joe Comerford (camera), Roger Doyle (music), and Brian Bourke (painter), Self-Portrait has been described as an aesthetic joke, although it is essentially an exploration of how sound controls our visual perception. The author himself explains: “the sub-plot of the film is the way we carry our past experience into new situations […] there are gaps in the soundtrack of this film for audience participation, to let them hear the echoes in their own heads.”
