A still from the VR film 489 Years by Hayoun Kwon
489 Years depicts an animated landscape of the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) between North and South Korea. It is based on the testimony of a former soldier who entered the DMZ, one of the most dangerous and heavily armed places in the world.
Following the soldier’s account of wandering among landmines and flowers, the DMZ is portrayed as a paradoxical space where intense anxiety and sublime beauty coexist. In creating this imagined landscape, Kwon addresses the geopolitical realities of the peninsula's division, its inherent violence, and the projected images of this mythical space.
