What is represented in a picture is what is visible to the eyes, it is the thing or things that must have been ideated. Thus, what are represented in the picture The Empire of Light are the things I ideated, i.e. a nighttime landscape and a sky such as we see during the day.

The film includes several pieces of music that are being played on a record player in the film, such as Bob Dylan's " It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)", Cat Stevens's " Morning Has Broken" and Joni Mitchell's " You Turn Me On, I'm a Radio".
