Self-portrait with red car
Bob Quinn
Artist's biography
Synopsis
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.” (Notes by Experimental Film Club, sourced from http://www.ifi.ie/film/self-portrait-with-red-car/ on May 16th 2016)
