A narrative in five acts, portraying formative events in Ian Breakwell's life that shed light on his concerns as an artist.
Broadcast on Channel 4 in 1991, the five acts together present a narrative on the interplay between the public world of surface appearance and social roles, and the private world of the imagination.
The five programmes in the series were Buried Alive, The Fence at Forbes, Keep Things as They Are, The House of the Deaf Man and lastly Mask to Mask.
