"Working with student volunteers, he limited his intervention to one lateral facade, which he divided into nine roughly equivalent rectangles, progressively removing them until only the center panel was left. In the photograph of that stage, this ninth rectangle appears uncannily suspended, hovering on the implied pictorial plane, behind which the rooms and stairway present themselves in a quasi-anatomical dissection."Photocollage in black and white of house at various stages of its deconstruction."Working with student volunteers, he limited his intervention to one lateral facade, which he divided into nine roughly equivalent rectangles, progressively removing them until only the center panel was left.
