Description

Border-less.site Exhibition at Culture Station Seoul 284

The Border-less.site exhibition was developed as part of Culture Station Seoul 284’s regional research/exhibition initiative, which has previously included DMZ (2019) and Gaeseong Industrial Complex (2018).

Border-less.site focuses on the twin cities Sinuiju and Dandong, with the Amrok River (Yalu River in Chinese) flowing between them, known as border areas where official and unofficial exchanges actively take place. The interesting part is that these cities are home to not only South and North Koreans, but also Joseonjok (ethnic Koreans living in China), as well as North Korean Hwagyo (ethnic Chinese residents in North Korea), who all make phone calls to Pyongyang or Seoul on their Samsung mobile phones.

The exhibition portrays, through a variety of art activities, the traces of active exchanges and crossing the lines in this border area between Sinuiju and Dandong. In the context of COVID-19, where it feels like distance between people has grown more than ever, it also reminds viewers of the meaning of “border”.
