Looks abandoned. The firsts thing I notice is the wonderful contrast. Next I am kept in the image checking out everything: the old soda machine, the CRT's, the graffiti, the square glass along the sides of the door. Very interesting!
I agree that it's the high contrast that makes this such a striking image. I also like the contrast in textures, too -- the blocky feel combined with the scattered randomness -- which makes a great combination.
Great composition - wonderful details, old things and modern things, yet everything here is old anyway. Also, it's easy to anthropomorphise the monitors and imagine that they're all waiting for the elevator.
