Where it came from
This book serves as a documentary record of the unusual wager and subsequent event where filmmaker Werner Herzog consumed his own shoe. The incident originated in 1978, when Herzog made a bet with filmmaker Errol Morris that if Morris finished his debut film, Gates of Heaven, Herzog would eat his shoe to prove that filmmaking is an act of sheer persistence and madness.
Ping Fahn compiled this volume in 2016 through the self-publishing platform Blurb to commemorate the cultural impact of this surreal challenge. The design is intended to function as a visual archive of the legendary event, capturing the gravity Herzog applied to the task, which was famously documented in Les Blank's short film of the same name.
