Hand-illustrated poster honoring Muse, the English rock band consisting of Matt Bellamy, Chris Wolstenholme and Dominic Howard.
They released their first EP "Muse" in 1998 and it wasn't long after that they started their never-ending success.
The band's lyrics always have strong meanings. From anti totalitarianism, global warming, pollution, general human greed about our planet, resisting, fighting on, bringing something down and much more.
These outright political messages are all visualised here. In a dystopian mega-city, representing capitalism and ultra-urbanisation, a big patriarchal figure coming straight from the past is turning the nation into puppets.
The unaware society, manipulated to move around pawns on a chess board, is not even looking up from the fake news on their phones. But in the corner, there are a group of people resisting being indoctrinated at the risk of getting crushed by the system.
The constant surveillance of the all-powerful government, represented here with the figure's hand, is inspired by both Murph the Robot and the Power Glove, two sci-fi references part of Muse's one-of-a-kind performances.
