The video unfolds in three parts, interweaving stories of violence and technology, tracing the forces that render Apocalyptic Imagery (AI). Generating a picture of the End of the World, simultaneously materializes damages to both  environmental and social fabrics. The separations between fabulation and factuality blur.

The Dresden Codex, one of the four remaining manuscripts that survived the book burnings during the Spanish invasion, was used as a predictive, algorithmic tool to prophesy future events. The End of the World is regarded as something that has already happened multiple times, like in the Invasion of the Americas or in the recent genocide against the Ixil population during the civil war in Guatemala.
