The Tailor of Autumn is the second episode filmed in Australia during 2013/14. It continues the pace and aesthetic of Episode I while introduces new characters by way of an astronaught, a knight, and a troup of wiley sock puppets. Most of the third act was filmed in the 17th and 18th Century European Painting section at the National Gallery of Victoria, and on location throughout Southern Victoria. Each episode has a series of companion artworks under the auspice of The Uber Memoria Collection which expands through both single and multi channel video installations from 2006 onwards.
