A monochrome photograph. In the middle distance and background are two sets of temporary barriers underneath a railway arch. Just behind the first barrier, two women are standing, while another two women are standing in front of the entrance to a building which is on the other side of the second barrier and beyond the arch. The area underneath the arch and beyond it are in shadow, while a stone wall glimpsed on the right, as well as most of the paved area in the foreground, are in bright sunlight.

No inower the door yit.

Not inside yet.

A monochrome photograph. In the lower section is a white area topped by three roughly triangular shapes. The right-hand side of this area is a curving slope, and in its bottom-left corner is a black rectangle containing three crudely drawn white vertical ‘bars’.

A monochrome photograph that has been modified to give it a yellow background. The top stories of a modern high-rise building can be seen beyond a motorway bridge. The bridge, and the buildings and trees around it, are more or less silhouetted against the yellow sky, as are a lamppost on the bridge and a wire extending across the sky in front of the high-rise building and the lamppost.
