In addressing issues such as the climate crisis, labour migration and borders, the Real DMZ Project has continued to evolve and outgrow itself.
Running since 2012, the Real DMZ Project is an attempt to reflect on some of the shadows cast by the Cold War. The focus is on the special geographical region called the Demilitarised Zone (DMZ). This border, where heavily armed enemies face each other like almost nowhere else in the world, divides the Korean peninsula not only spatially but also spiritually. As a buffer zone between North and South Korea, the DMZ is a self-contained country that reflects the shadows on both sides.
In this project, the artist’s eye stands for the naked daylight that redistributes the sensual in order to counter spatial disturbances.
