Concurrently in the Underworld is part of the Fridlyst series. The work refers to a parallel universe where the under- world reflects our world and where footprints of our ancestors run alongside our own. It is a reflection and an optical illusion. Matilda Kästel seeks a place emancipated from the downsides of civilisation. Inspired by the untouched forests of Washington and Småland, in the mountains and the dark, Fridlyst explores the peace and power of nature.
