Summary/Abstract: The paper refers to the film directed by Lech Majewski titled "The Garden of Earthly Delights". The author of this paper suggests an interpretation built on nihilism to be able to show that human is a kind of mistake of nothingness. We can think about art in a similar way that means that art is a kind of mistake of life in a biological sense. The word mistake can find positive meanings, but it depends of the experience of love, good or beauty. The film "The Garden of Earthly Delights" functions as the image full of intertextual connections is worth of cognition and understanding.
