Artwork Details

The diorama combines books and film to explore storytelling and memory. Its multi-tiered structure includes narratives ranging from Sinbad's adventures to a vintage news anchor. Book pages form the base, referencing literary tradition, while cinematic elements highlight visual storytelling. A hand-crank suggests interaction, inviting viewers to engage with the artwork.
