There/Here

Created to accompany our ground graphic work Here/There – and partly responding to its limited accessibility due to its location – There/Here focuses on the dual identity of the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), which is not here nor there. This video overlays two contrasting images of the DMZ: one experienced by humans under constraints and the other perceived by animals with freedom. Through the contrast, it implies a possibility of transforming the paradoxical space into a place that is here as well as there. Over the 12-minute duration, the virtual DMZ recollects its seventy-year history and seeks to extend into the future.
