This 35mm slide film installation presents three different reconstructions of Seoul. The first shows a South Korean cityscape as depicted by a North Korean film studio; the second shows a South Korean military training ground that simulates urban warfare; and the third features a replica of the DMZ Joint Security Area (Panmunjom) constructed by a South Korean film studio. These three sets subtly reveal Seoul’s historical transformations —not simply as changes over time, but as processes that become filtered and distorted through political, economic, and social ideologies.
