Korea
Triptychs and tapestries looking at Korea as geographic, historic, and psychic space. Displacement, bureaucracy, and virtue influence national narratives. Historical figures drift in and out of time as flexible signifiers. Nonplaces and euphemisms rule unrestricted. Orphans whose parents are dead but living. Peaceful realms existing only with constant militarization. Baby boxes playing Für Elise.
