Civilization (Hell and Heaven) is the first still image released from the
Megaplex series by
Marco Brambilla. The high-resolution digital edition produced exclusively for
Sedition derives from
Civilization (Megaplex), a video work from the series. In the
Megaplex triptych,
Brambilla collages imagery from movies, using an elaborate visual language to create new symbolic relationships which comment on capitalist culture. The work both celebrates and satirizes the Hollywood blockbuster version of human history as epic entertainment, while the
Bosch-like attention to detail presents myriad micro-narratives which are both familiar and unfamiliar. [
