Screen-drawing characterised by a black frame painted around the edges of a sheet of paper, defining a ‘field for projection’ containing a black geometric pattern similar to an inverted T. In the middle, in a sort of cloud, an image transferred to paper via solvent, depicts an urban landscape with Mao Tse-Tung’s face in the centre. For greater insight into the concept of ‘schermo’ in Mauri’s work, see the introductory essays.
