watch Anger’s film and stare into Bosch’s painting and see an invented world. However‚ for Bosch there is no invention‚ and for Anger‚ it is all invention. The world of Bosch is nearly inconceivable to the man from modernity‚ but we look into The Garden of Earthly Delights‚ and we try to see Kenneth Anger‚ and if we simply ignore observations that don’t fit‚ the two seem to be a reiteration of the other and then just a reiteration of the Bible and the story of creation‚ the story of the human race
