Collage composed of three square-format screen-drawings stacked and offset from one another by about 10 cm, leaving only the one on the right entirely visible. The word ‘FINE’ (THE END), a leitmotif in Mauri’s work, indicating that a projection has just occurred, sits in a red roundel at the centre.
