The origin of the world (2025)

El origen del mundo is a short film that stages a tableau vivant of Gustave Courbet’s provocative painting of the same name. Captured in a single, continuous 10-minute take, the film centres on a model, Leila, posing to recreate the painting’s composition, while the director and crew discuss its historical censorship, the nature of the gaze, and the interplay between cinematic and painterly framing.
