This is not a video clip - it's a painting. If you haven't watched Kanye West's latest video 'Power' you need to watch it immediately. Directed by Marco Brambilla, depicting the kingdom at the end of its age it's shot predominantly as one sequence, from an extreme close-up of Kanye and outwards, revealing a neoclassical surrounding. Inspired by Michelangelo's frescoes in the Sistine Chapel, it depicts a faux historical moment when the empire is on the brink of collapse from its own excess, decadence and corruption.
