Superb diorama sculpture by Serge Mansau simulating a freeze-frame on a vintage television set. On the outside of the thermoformed glass, at the center of the screen, the word 'End' appears. Inside, when the eye crosses this barrier, an image of a film's ending unfolds. A look into another world, inaccessible and protected. Made of glass simulations of a flowing riverbed, covered by plant life made of wood and seashells.
The sculpture lights up.
In very good condition.
Dimensions in cm ( H x L x l ) : 38 x 49.5 x 11.3
