'Secret Mall Apartment' documents artists’ hideaway

I’ve always been fascinated by secret rooms. I loved those old movies like “The Old Dark House” or “The Black Cat” that featured spooky mansions with forbidden rooms or hidden passageways. Movies like “Panic Room” and “10 Cloverfield Lane” attract my interest. Bunkers and bomb shelters get my attention. I always envied Bruce Wayne’s Batcave.

Further, I’ve always enjoyed secret hideaways like the now-defunct Chelsea Place in New York, a nightclub you entered through a false armoire in a thrift shop, or Please Don’t Tell, the Manhattan bar you enter through a phone booth.
