The spaces which Bosch presents don't have anything to do with reality, nor with human comprehension. He is one of the first masters of the history of art who introduces in his images a dreamlike component which exceeds the conscious reality. Fantasy, humor, criticism, the vast symbolic universe that is needed to look over and understand the poetic interpretation of his artistic narrative, serve the painter to explore human nature and its adaptation to the context.

Bosch is a committed artist, a humanist who at the beginnings of the 17th Century contemplates questions still without answers: the value of time, Man's mystic needs, his primogenial nature, the return to Paradise, the inferno of Life.

Like the second hand of a clock, the movements of the animated elements mark the time of the work; a time which runs without cease, propagating the movement to the infinite, provoking a chain reaction: the Creation (Eden), the Garden of Delights (Paradise), the Inferno (Death). The off-screen voice guides the journey and makes stops in passages from R. M. Rilke (Sonnets to Orpheus), M. J. Romero (It Is Still Today), and Charles Baudlaire (The Clock) which express in poetry the drama of the artist, his ontological vision.
