second collaboration with Michael Fleming
from Michael's website:
Three scenes reflecting on paradise, lust and hell.
In ‘the Garden of delight’ beauty and evil go together like in a dream. We dive into a world of erotic derangement, inhabited by dancing lovers, lustful mutated baboons, tropical birds, deformed pin-ups, butterflies and body-builders.
This hand-manipulated collage film, made entirely out of 35 and 8mm found-footage, explores the marriage between heaven and hell, our irresolvable endless conflict that goes with human nature.
Inspired by the triptych ‘the Garden of Delight' by Hieronymus Bosch.

I was very fortunate that some friends at BU
came down into the basement studio there for a recording session,
creating most of the material for the film.
