Description

This black and white photograph presents a view through a doorway into a brightly lit room. The doorway is the immediate foreground. A thin white wire or cord runs from within the dark foreground towards the brighter room. Inside the room are a series of arched openings. A white box-like object sits on a shelf within one of the arches, further back in the space. High contrast lighting contributes to the dramatic aesthetic, casting strong shadows and highlighting textures. The room gives the impression of an art gallery space, due to the austere architecture and the minimalist composition.
