A visceral, deliberately obscene avant-garde reimagining of creation mythology that uses graphic body horror and surrealist imagery to explore nihilism, transcendence, and the violent birth of existence itself.

Begotten is the creation myth brought to life, the story of no less than the violent death of God and the (re)birth of nature on a barren earth.
