Frames from three film strips are against a white background in this horizontal composition. Together the three segments show four views of rooms in which oval-shaped holes gape in the walls and floors, as if a massive drill was chewing its way through the building. The rooms have light, tan-colored walls, and masonry and lumber are exposed where walls and floors have been partially removed. Three of the pictures, along the top of the composition, show views across rooms on a single floor. The bottom picture shows a view down through several stories of the building. Two fragments of the film strips appear to be affixed to the white background with red tap at the top left.
