This is a photograph of multiple strips of black and white photographic negatives. The image shows several lines of film negative strips laid out on a dark surface. Each strip contains multiple frames. Among the negatives, there can be seen architecture, interiors, and outdoor scenes. There is a label at the top that reads “Santiago de Cuba.” The overall effect is archival or documentary, highlighting a collection of visual records that capture moments in time from different perspectives. The black film with transparent images creates a mosaic-like pattern over the surface it rests upon.
