Brief

Bosch framed original sin as rupture: desire unmoored from reciprocity. The film works from that reading rather than from the iconography, so the reference survives without the imagery being copied.

Outcome

A 30-minute generative film, sequenced across six contributors. Each movement traces temptation, rupture and loss, as images that mutate and recombine like unstable ecologies. Bosch's tension returns as atmosphere rather than illustration.
