Apokaluptein:16389067 was conceived and executed within federal prison while Jesse Krimes was serving a 70 month sentence for distribution of a controlled substance. The title references the Greek origin of the word apocalypse meaning to 'uncover, reveal;' an event involving destruction or damage on a catastrophic scale; the numbers reference his Federal Bureau of Prisons identification number. The mural took 3 years to make and it is a meditation on heaven, hell, sin, redemption, celebrity worship, deprivation and the nature of perceived reality. Krimes says his "entire experience" of prison is tied up in the artwork.
Media In Neighborhoods Group is planning to expand Krimes' story into a longer documentary.
