Real DMZ Project: Minouk Lim
Past exhibition
Overview
Visit the full virtual reality tour from 'The Real DMZ Project’ on Youtube, available from April 7th to May 23rd.
“DMZ does not allow us to capture or record it. However, there is a light and a song seen and heard only in the night created by DMZ Portable Keepers whenever they encounter mines, weapons, or lost souls. Armed with those sounds and lights they make as they light up, they are the guardians of the DMZ." - the Real DMZ Project on Minouk Lim's Portable Keepers.
The DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) is an inescapable facet of Korean history that still holds power to this day, as a cultural landmark and physical reality. Minouk Lim tackles complicated sentiments that arise from the existence of the DMZ through her virtual installation of Portable Keepers, alongside virtual installations by international artists such as Lee Bul, Kyungah Ham, and SUPERFLEX, for 'The Real DMZ Project.’
