Going Underground

  • Photographer
    Leonard Drorian, Germany
  • Prize
    Honorable Mention

Going Underground was originally used as a title for photographs made in metro stations, but gradually it became more of an approach and then a series. It explores liminal spaces, cinematic language, and suspended moments. Characters appear detached or partially hidden, caught between places or states. Images function as fragments, frames from unseen films, where character and setting suggest narrative without resolving it. Working with analog film allows imperfection and chance to become a part of the story itself.
