ANNÉES 1980 - VAGUE PERPETUELLE MOBILE Large model. Motorized parallelepiped support in brushed steel supporting a large parallelepiped in altuglas and brushed steel at the ends, imprisoning a blue-tinted viscous liquid and water, whose emulsifying movement creates a slow-motion breaking wave effect. Numbered on the underside: 730 Minor wear scratches on the Plexiglas, restoration to the motor. Height 28 cm - Width 79 cm This mobile perpetual wave gained popularity thanks to the French film "Diva" directed by Jean-Jacque Beineix in 1981. The sculpture played a major role in the film's overall aesthetic and artistic ambience, and can be seen as a nod to the New Wave film movement.
