The project
A film clapperboard becomes a trophy through the combination of a wooden base and a transparent body with black and white details. Archicercle contributed to the design and manufacture alongside Tomás Sánchez of IDyR, and carried out the laser cutting and engraving of the acrylic.
The piece retains the familiar visual language of a clapperboard: a rectangular body and an upper strip with black and white bands. This reference to cinema defines the object without relying on a separate figure placed on a conventional plinth.
The black-stained wooden base supports the transparent acrylic element, which was laser-cut and engraved. The black and white details were made from coloured acrylic. The result combines transparent areas with opaque elements that outline the clapperboard shape.
The project was a collaboration spanning design and manufacture. Wood, transparent acrylic and coloured acrylic each play a part in the composition: a dark base, a visually light body and the graphic details that establish its cinematic reference.
