Ericsson Display Monitor Unit 3111, Wrapped Project for Personal Computer

A meticulously wrapped personal computer monitor is rendered through a dynamic combination of lithography, photography, twine, and plastic collage, evoking Christo's signature practice of enveloping everyday objects in fabric and cord. The work transforms a mundane piece of technology — the Ericsson Display Monitor Unit 3111 — into a mysterious, sculptural presence, simultaneously concealing and heightening curiosity about the object beneath. Mounted on Museum board, the piece bridges the boundary between print and three-dimensional art, reflecting Christo's lifelong exploration of wrapping as both aesthetic act and conceptual statement.

Medium
Lithograph with photograph, twine and plastic collage, on Arches Cover paper mounted to Museum board (as issued), the full sheet.
