The picture shows a stationary escalator in the heart of Bruges station. It seems as if time has stood still for a moment. The movement of the escalator, normally a symbol of liveliness and activity, is frozen in space, with no one standing or walking on it. The station itself exudes a calm serenity, while the large open space around the escalator draws attention to the unused stairs. There is something almost cinematic about the emptiness: it is as if the bustle of the station has temporarily disappeared from view, leaving only the architecture and the silent mechanics of the escalator. The escalator, often a mundane and utilitarian element, takes on an almost symbolic meaning through the absence of people, as if waiting for a new movement, a new moment of activity. The photograph raises questions about the transience of moments and the space that is created when the usual hectic pace of everyday life is momentarily removed.
