Beside a glowing brick oven, a mustached chef in a white toque and jacket with a dark green apron lifts a pale pizza-dough disc from his hands. Wooden worktables, bowls, hanging pans and an arched window surround him. The dough rises overhead, then freezes with its uneven rim tilted and flour specks hanging around it. Nothing in the kitchen advances during this hold: the dough does not spin, the flour does not fall, and the chef's raised arms remain still. The viewpoint curves from his side through a frontal view to the other side, revealing the dough's underside. The toss then continues downward toward his waiting hands.
