The strip of land that separates North Korea from South Korea is 2.5 miles wide and 160 miles long. This no man’s land is called the DMZ—demilitarized zone—and it divides two contrasting worlds. South of the border, citizens are free and live in a modern democracy; North of it, they adhere to a ruthless totalitarian dictatorship, ruled by the Kim dynasty. This exhibition presents 35 works that consider the psychological divisions between the two Korean nations, and the way the peninsula’s heavily guarded border is felt on both sides. —Elena Clavarino
