ProfessionalWhy did you make this work:
The "Underground Encounters" are not secret meetings in dark hideouts, nor do they imply isolation. Instead, they propose a continuation of living in imaginary (utopian or dystopian) spaces, which could suggest modes of habitation and escape from urban suffocation. The everyday people portrayed, intimate or enigmatic challenge the viewers into forming their own readings, plots, or stories.
