The work is structurally sound and all elements are present. The upper edge of the zinc box with the camera is slightly warped. Minor wear, surface scuffs and scratches are scattered throughout the edges and interiors of the zinc boxes, most likely inherent to the artist's working method and choice of medium. Spots of oxidation are visible, most notably to the metal bars on the edges of the zinc boxes. Handling marks are occasional to the interior of the zinc boxes. Minor wear, rubbing, surface scuffs and slight oxidation are to the corners and edges of the camera. Some adhesive residue is around the camera and a small tear is to one edge of the camera. Minor wear and a few tiny losses are to the corner-tips and extreme edges of the black and white photograph, possibly in keeping with the artist's choice of medium and working method. The black and white photograph has shifted slightly in tone. Fine surface scratches are to the Plexiglas covering of the photograph.
