So … I was also interested by that question and intrigued by that photo, so I put on my research cap and went away.
From what I found out it seems to be both:
A staged photo/shot but from a historical movie called Dr. Mabuse the Gambler .
I was able to find the movie on YouTube with A seance scene which however does not seem to be the same scene (or at least a different angle) from the picture. If anyone has the time to scroll through all 4h of that movie the scene in the picture might be in there.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
