Emperor! Emperor! Emperor!

43 B. C. Cleopatra, Caesar and Marc Anthony hold a parade to announce the second triumvirate. History has forgotten this episode. Produced via Skype chat, this dialogue between three characters of power, transfers politics into an exchange of absurdities. Correlations among three egomaniacs are shifting between obsession and seduction, disingenuousness and delusions of grandeur. The reader will witness a fiction of possibly the most excessive way an empire has ever fallen. First published on the occasion of the exhibition Coffer’s IV: Christiane Blattmann / Than Hussein Clark, Berlin, Hermannplatz 18. 07. 2012, curated by Vincent Maigler
