Heroic Jounrey: Seven Events Illustrating a Heroic Journey

by Jeanne R. Forstenzer

Afterimage, Dec. 1979, v. 7, no. 5, pp. 15-16

Forstenzer offers a critical analysis of Shalom Gorewitz's experimental video Seven Events Illustrating a Heroic Journey. The work is described as a posed question, asking what the role of form and content are in art and life. Gorewitz’s formal, conceptual, and the physical process he undertook in the creation of the tape are explored.
