1965 · Mandatory Chest Screening · Work 1030 of 1,871
The small function hall of a cooperative store in a town near Halle on a bright May morning, set up for chest screening, rows of empty folding chairs on a worn parquet floor, a spring coat and a brown felt hat left on one chair, the lower walls glossy green, the upper walls whitewashed, on the wall a large paper sheet of flat orange with one broad yellow band across its middle, smooth and bare, seen at a slant, a table with a stack of small closed grey booklets, at the far end a folding screen of white cloth with the edge of a tall grey apparatus behind it, tall sunny windows.
