Splitting 5 (Documentation of the action "Splitting" made in 1974 in New Jersey, United States)
1974, printed 1977

A black and white photograph of a two-story house with white siding and a stone foundation. The house has multiple windows, some with closed shutters, and there is a large evergreen tree to the left of the house. The surrounding area appears to be overgrown with vegetation, and the photo has a vintage look, suggesting it may be from the mid-20th century.
