A vintage bike factory is prominently featured in the shot. To the left, dazed factory workers scramble to control a sudden, fiery explosion emanating from a vat labeled “Hemicelluloses”. The space is awash with vibrant orange and yellow hues of the fire, reflecting off shiny velocipedes lined up on the right for final inspection. The shot is framed to show depth, with the fire in the foreground casting long, fear-inducing shadows reaching toward the bikes. The camera angle is low, implying the enormity of the danger the fire poses. Everything outside of the fire zone is plunged in stark semi-darkness, the focus being the deflagration. The explosion, fire, and workers all balance against the untouched bikes, providing an ironic contrast. The shot is static, creating a frozen-in-time effect.
