Abat-jour Solitude is a 1950s wooden bedside table that once belonged to an Italian home, transformed into the set of an everyday life scene.
Scene 1: some 1:87 scale workers repair the damage.
Scene 2: others work inside a 9V power station, generating energy. For another place. A street lamp turns on.
Scene 3: for the man who waits in vain under the lampshade.
