A W-Hole House: Roof Top Atrium
1973

A panoramic black and white photograph composed of four panels, showing a sequence of images that create a continuous perspective. The first panel depicts an outdoor scene with a crane lifting materials onto the roof of a small building, with a mountain in the background. The subsequent three panels transition indoors, featuring a series of doors in a corridor with tape or a ribbon creating a broken line that connects across the panels, suggesting a visual and conceptual link between the separate images.
