It has been 55 years since the end of the Korean War. Accounts of the war have been spread only through text books and films, slipping from our memories as mere past events. However, the scars inflicted by the war still remain, and tensions between the North and South persist around the DMZ military boundary, evidence that the war has not yet ended. There are many land mines still buried arond the 38th parallel, and because they were randomly dispersed by the US forces during the war, their number and exact locations are unknown. The mines, once buried in mountains and wasteland, have gradually been washed into residential areas by heavy rainfall and typhoons, taking their toll on innocent people and dragging them into the fray. Who will be the next unwitting target? Such fears prevent people in the area from sleeping in peace. This is neither history nor a past over and done with. Rather, such incidents make up an ongoing present, and a haunting problem that will drag into the future. 39 monochrome photographs will be on display.
