Boombox

by Zim and Zou · Sainte-Foy-de-Longas, FR

The 'Boombox' is the continuity of the Back to Basics serie representing iconic retro devices from the 80s, carefully handcrafted out of paper. The bold colors along with the many details highlight and the energy pulsed by the original Boombox. Skillfully crafted to the millimeter using paper only, the numerous buttons, graphic elements and paper layers bring the device to life. The sculpture plays with the feeling of nostalgia that yet stays actual. The obsolescence of the object questions the race to technologic evolution against the survival of iconic classics in the everlasting cycle of trends. The artwork is sold protected in a wooden frame (43 x 33 x 4 cm).
