The Garden of Electric Delights

Synopsis

Drawing on Bosch's "Garden of Earthly Delights," the film builds its own world out of electrical signals, colour, noise and analogue interference. The abstract imagery gradually turns into a strange, synthetic natural landscape, where mechanical sounds replace the voices of animals, and the beauty of digital and analogue flicker coexists with the image of a vanishing nature.
