ABSTRACT

Five centuries ago, Hieronymus Bosch painted his Millennium Triptych. As John Berger wrote, this vision of Hell presents us with a boundary-less future:

There is no horizon there. There is no continuity between actions, there are no pauses, no paths, no pattern, no past and no future. There is only the clamour of the disparate, fragmentary present. Everywhere there are surprises and sensations, yet nowhere is there any outcome. Nothing flows through: everything interrupts. There is a kind of spatial delirium (Berger, 1999).
