- Summary:
- "A Man Whose Life Was Full of Woe Has Been Surprised By Joy is about transformations--about transformations of imagery through collage and montage, about history as transformation, about eros as a transformative power, and, most of all, about the transformations of the self. It rejects modernity's inhumane technological order and seeks to reconnect the body and the self." - https://www.blackzero.ca/products/surprised-by-joy.
