A photo album bound in red leather. It contains black-and-white aerial photographs, taken at a time when colonial powers ruled and dict ated the way things should be interpreted. How can the signs of that time be read today? An exploration of imperial image production and destruction. The 'Z' Unit’s operation in a world far from our own was an experiment of sorts, a test. And this place, inhabited by beings different from ourselves, served as a laboratory. A successful outcome would secure the Z Unit’s future, enabling its enterprise to expand and its methods to be applied to other lands. An investigation of imperial image-making, and destruction.
