Old lift motor | The Tribunal
I recently posted a photo of the old lift, the one with the golden doors. This is the motor that made that lift move.
One of the most interesting parts of this photo project was that I got to visit many of the technical rooms to which almost none of the staff members had access. And almost nobody knew they existed even. Only those working in certain parts of the institution, such as the Facilities Management Unit and Security, ever went to these rooms. Most of these rooms have never before been photographed.
To access this lift motor, it was necessary to open a nondescript hatch in a wall in the middle of an office landscape in the Prosecution area of the building. Much like the door in the lobby that led down to the underground holding cells this hatch was hidden in plain sight. Behind the hatch was a long narrow passage and then suddenly around the corner was this space, which was dominated by the motor. It was still working perfectly as it was carefully looked after and regularly maintained.
Incidentally, in case it is of interest I've written a short piece on my site about some technical aspects of this photo project.
From my project The Tribunal, which I made during my last years at the ICTY to show the great diversity of this amazing institution. The full project can be accessed on my site below.
