SPECULUM brings Bosch’s masterpiece firmly into the twenty-first century. This digital triptych situates the viewer before ruthless depictions of the present. Eden is a pastel landscape of invasive technologies, image-obsessed loners wander in Paradise, and Hell is a gory compendium of personalised tortures.

The central panel, Paradise, was created in 2016, commissioned by the MOTI/Museum of the Image (now the Stedelijk Museum, Breda, The Netherlands). SOLO Contemporary acquired this work the following year and supported the team to develop Eden and Hell, completing the piece now known as SPECULUM. Like its Renaissance predecessor, this is a treasury of visual tales, each of them an invitation to consider who we are and the society we have built.
