It figuratively represents the cinematography itself treating it as a medium for a noir movie. A film frame has become the main actor of this interior: here it acts as the wings, while there as a movie screen, and still further as a source of bright light, as it was many years ago, when movies were publicly screened on a white sheet using a film projector.

You may get into some of the frames and imagine yourself a movie star. This technique has been deliberately chosen. It generates the feeling of distance and remoteness – the fictitious world of cinematography created in the foyer space is intentionally strange, it is black-and-white and not life-sized.
