The image depicts an indoor scene within the Great Hall of the Manchester Central Convention Complex, identified by its distinctive arched, riveted steel ceiling structure illuminated by numerous lights. The setting is an exhibition or event space during a setup phase. In the mid-ground, a multi-level silver metal scaffolding structure is under construction. Two male workers, both wearing hard hats and high-visibility clothing, are actively involved: one, in a yellow high-visibility shirt and blue hard hat, is positioning a platform on the scaffold's second level, while another, in an orange high-visibility vest, black shirt, and blue hard hat, is leaning forward on the lowest platform, appearing to handle equipment. This individual exhibits visible arm tattoos. To the left of the scaffolding, an orange JLG scissor lift is extended vertically, positioning a third male worker in high-visibility clothing and a blue hard hat near the hall's upper steel framework, likely engaged in overhead installation or maintenance. Ropes, colored red and blue, descend from the ceiling towards the center of the frame. The floor is covered with grey carpet in the foreground and a blue carpeted aisle further back where multiple exhibition booths with various signage are visible. Numerous individuals, appearing as attendees or staff, populate the background, some observing the work, others walking between stalls. Blue temporary barriers are present in the immediate foreground. Red, rectangular objects, potentially scaffold components or protective mats, lie on the grey carpet near the scaffolding. Black audio equipment is positioned near the base of the scissor lift.
