A work characterised by a black band painted around the edges of a sheet of paper, framing a screen with rounded corners with the word ‘FINE’ (THE END) in the centre, a leitmotif in Mauri’s work, indicating that a projection has just taken place. A second version of the work exists, identical but in a larger format (inv. 881). For greater insight into the concept of ‘schermo’ in Mauri’s work, see the introductory essays.
