This shot is either from a casino/hotel monstrosity in Atlantic City, or someplace similar. The sky is painted on the ceiling. I've been to a place like this and it is unsettling and demoralizing. It suggests that reality is unnecessary, that capitalism can cherry pick the best parts of actual experience and give you a mediated and remunerated experience that is superior.

The photographer takes this distorted experience and distorts it further with a fisheye lens and dirty filter. Instead of the conventional (yawn) straight perspective lines, one sees a curved perspective. The vanishing point is distressingly nearby, like an omen of imminent doom.
