This black-and-white photograph shows a metro station. The image is dominated by two parallel structures: an escalator on the left and a wide staircase on the right, both sloping upwards.
The escalator is in use; people can be seen going up on it. Next to the escalator is a shiny balustrade, which adds to the modern look. The staircase next to it is wide with sleek steps leading to a higher floor. The lighting is remarkable: bright daylight streams in from the upper and open parts of the structure, creating strong contrasts and shadows.
Several figures can be seen on the left side of the picture, one of which appears to be holding a large object, a gun, although it is difficult to distinguish due to the blur. The background shows an outdoor space with trees and the outline of buildings, suggesting that this location is on the edge of a city centre. The photograph is in black and white, which emphasises the shapes, lines and intense contrasts of light and shadow.
