There are street dogs that wander around the city. Lacking an owner, these dogs are neither obedient nor aggressive. For them, one corner of the city is their residence and they maintain their living realm by circling around a couple of blocks. They look free but hardly leave these boundaries. However, once human beings conquer a city, all other life forms seem to exist for human beings; plants and animals have to survive within the particular boundaries created by human lives. Your Territory considers the co-existence of human beings with animals or with objects through the communal use of spaces, not becoming threats to other species, and symbiotic living. Your Territory is also exhibited at SEOULLO MEDIA CANVAS.
