What does it mean to exist? Self-Portrait is a cinematic meditation on the instability of identity and the infinite potential of the self. Moving fluidly between instinct and awareness, past and present, the film dissolves conventional structures, embracing an aesthetic of being—one that is raw, permeable, and ever-evolving.
Here, artists are not performers but vessels of authenticity, stripped of pretense, existing in a state of constant becoming. The film itself rejects static form, instead functioning as a symbiotic system—one that shifts, breathes, and reshapes itself in response to the act of creation. It is both process and artifact, both presence and absence, blurring the lines between subject, observer, and the ephemeral nature of experience.
By challenging the boundaries of perception, Self-Portrait invites its audience into a liminal space where film is not merely watched but lived—an open system of consciousness, infinitely expanding beyond time and space.
