Kanye West - POWER

I am extremely interested in this video, I think its concept is more or less what I am aiming to achieve. It is directed by Canadian artist Marco Brambilla and the clip takes its inspiration from Michelangelo's frescos in the Sistine Chapel. The 'Moving Painting' reveals a neo-classical living portrait of Kanye west surrounded by supernatural figures from different historical eras, such as horned and winged women along with men wielding swords.
