Kronig took this photograph from the window of his London flat. It forms part of a series he called. Out the Window, after a song performed by the jazz pianist Count Basie and his band. Here an exasperated male driver is delayed by a stream of identically dressed women – perhaps members of the Salvation Army – passing in front of his car. The image captures the occasional reversal in power between cars and pedestrians that occurs on city streets
