People Who Escalat A moving staircase consisting of an endlessly circulating belt of steps… This is an ongoing project and I shot the following images over a 10 week period during 2023. Setting my camera up on a bollard outside the A10 exit of Liverpool Street station, I focused on the top of the escalator to catch people as they came off the conveyor belt, faces glued to phones or coffee cups in hand (recyclable, of course). I watched and wondered where these people were going. No doubt some were off to work, places to be, people to see, important appointments, lovers trysts, a round of golf, tourists (heads stuck in Google Maps) while a few were definitely locals-you could tell by the way they accelerated off the escalator and knew exactly where they were headed.
