Hans Breder

Coralville Studio
1971

A black and white photograph depicting a surreal scene with two pairs of human legs intertwined, appearing to emerge from a wooden board that obscures the rest of their bodies. The setting looks like an artist's studio with visible pipes on the wall and art supplies on the floor. The image has a white border, suggesting it is a printed photograph.
