The noun "garden", and the phrase "earthly delights", invite us to imagine a massive attack on the sensory apparatus. Borrowing the tentative title of Hieronymus Bosch's phenomenal and subversive 15th-century work, which presents vulgar and enigmatic visual codes, we draw the relevance of Bosch's sensual interpretation of the Western canon (the Bible) to modes of sensual experimentation in the "peripheral" realm. An all-night wayang (shadow puppet show) performance, for example, with its combination of natural-music sounds, ritualistic aromas, the presence of non-human agents and food and drink from local produce completes the sensory assault on the audience's bodily experience. If the cinematic experience of an all-night wayang (shadow puppet show) is considered a mode of thinking, predating Lumiere's Cinematograph device, then it can include the active engagement of all human senses in the durational situation of the event.

In its eleventh edition, ARKIPEL have reached the point of contemplating how cinema, in its current phase, can offer filmmaker-film-audience encounters to unravel the deepest layers of multisensory stimuli (visual, auditory, taste and smell, haptic/touch, and others), and the memories that emerge from them that are all related to the reality of location, and undoubtedly political. The embodied and poetic knowledge of the filmmakers holds a unique offer in seeing reality, both in its location, and in the world. For this reason, this year's ARKIPEL offers various modes of exhibition to see multisensory and durational possibilities in exploring the language of cinema, global issues, and the possibilities of activism that arise from them.
