Ever since mankind invented gods, there has been good and evil, Heaven and Hell. A glorious place, and a terrifying one; to enjoy either for the good behavior or be punished for the evil. With different religions there are different implications. But one thing these religions have in common is the fact of the “life after life”. We can find books like the Christian Bible and the Muslin Quran, where they talk about place of joy to live the eternity. | Ever since mankind invented gods, there has been good and evil, Heaven and Hell.

Circa 1308–21, Italian author Dante Alighieri wrote about his experiences walking through the path of Hell, the Purgatory and Heaven. In each experience, he is guided by Greek poet Virgilio, and he is explained what happens in afterlife. My idea is based on representing all stages of his path and creating an image of what Dante might have seen in this walk. | Circa 1308–21, Italian author Dante Alighieri wrote about his experiences walking through the path of Hell, the Purgatory and Heaven.

In Christian theology, Hell is the place where by God's judgment sinners go to pay for their unrepentant actions after dead. There, they spend the eternity in suffering. Same idea of concept is shared by Islam in Jahannam, refers to an afterlife place of punishment for evildoers. Hell, Sheol (in the Hebrew bible), “Gehenna” (in the new testament). | In Christian theology, Hell is the place where by God's judgment sinners go to pay for their unrepentant actions after dead.

This is the first approach to the whole project. Dante’s Divine Comedy is composed of three books: Hell, Purgatory and Heaven. But even before Dante starts talking about these three stages, we see his walk in the woods and Limbo. I focused on these two stages as they are foreground before the full experience. In this stage, the reader (in the original narration form) starts to get the new set of rules of the upcoming adventure. As I talked to my teacher, this first experiment was just a first approach of an even bigger project which will be filled with different sounds and images to play with the viewer’s emotions. | This is the first approach to the whole project.
