● The chronicle, in four parts
Episodes
A loose narrative running 2005–2010. Each episode collects a series of large-scale lenticular images. Begin anywhere.
Episode 1 · 2006
Unleashed!
A long, long time ago, in a land far, far away. A preacher, a hegemonic ruler, and his inappropriate use of nails threaten the tenuous balance of power in a remote outpost of the Empire.
Episode 2 · 2008
Baghdad Barbie in the Cradle of Civilisation
The Empire is being lured into protracted civil wars in each of its newly established territories, whilst small but well publicised victories mask the insurgents' progress.
Episode 3 · 2010
The All-in Brawl
Three long decades since the war began, millions have been slaughtered and few remember why. Feeling the loosening grip of his power, the Emperor hatches a plan.
Epilogue
Children of the Meek
After countless years fighting insurgencies in its remote outposts, the Empire finally crumbled as constant war and a pre-occupation with entertainment created a dangerous distraction from the Earth's collapsing ecosystems.
