Park Chan-Kyong Three Cemeteries 2009-10 Photographs, audio
Commissioned by REDCAT, Los Angeles Courtesy the artist
This exhibition is a collaboration between artists Park Chan-Kyong, based in Seoul, and Sean Snyder, based in Tokyo and Kyiv, who share an interest in North Korea and the politics of the Cold War – particularly in the practices of pushing a dangerous state to the limit. They use photography, video, television and film to expose not only the mechanisms of power but also to deconstruct the processes that support political ideologies. Based on exhaustive research, their methodologies can be likened to those of archivist, documentarian, cartographer or journalist.
