Through and extract from An American Prayer, the last studio album by the rock band The Doors, which includes Jim Morrison's poetry (originally recoded in 1969 and 1970), this video essay intends to give a practical example of an understanding of Formalism, and to show that it is possible to convert a piece of poetry and music into a visual piece of art itself.
