Description

An overhead perspective captures rows of empty red velvet theatre seats arranged in a tiered auditorium. The deep burgundy upholstery of the chairs contrasts with the patterned red carpeting covering the aisles and floor. Scattered white playbills and programs lie discarded on the seats and floor, suggesting the end of a performance. The lighting creates subtle highlights on the curved backs and wooden armrests of the seating rows. This architectural and documentary interior study emphasizes pattern, repetition, and traces of human presence.
