After hours exit

After hours exit. 2020

A service exit becomes a small stage once the sun has gone. Blocks of muted green and grey stack across the wall like colour samples, cut by a single strip of harsh fluorescent light and the neat geometry of the stairs. The concrete path, the clipped grass and the abandoned trolley all feel oddly formal, as if everything has been placed and left to wait for something that never arrives. This quiet, dead-end corner of an ordinary building turns cinematic for a moment, holding that mix of emptiness and tension that sits between the working day and the deep night.
