THE EMPIRE NEVER ENDED

September 21, 2024 Mr. Sleep

The Empire Never Ended. The Empire Where The Sun Never Sets. The Roman Empire. The Empire Of Now.

It exists today through hidden handshakes, 3-letter government organizations, assassinations, laboratories that enable testing to be done on people freely and secretly, mass surveillance, coup d’états, propaganda, war profiteering, bribery and blackmail, lobbying, big banks. It exists through complicity, through complacency, idleness, overindulgence. It exists through division of people, through mass confusion.

GOOD BYE, GOOD TIMES

Sean Boice is an independent documentary and event photographer inspired by themes of freedom, individualism, social unrest, economics, and tongue-in-cheek patriotism.

I’ve known Sean since highschool, and we’ve both shared a love for counter culture, strange art and conspiracies. Naturally, I felt like he would be the perfect artist to feature in this first issue of Mesmer.
