DiaporamaDuplex House
The Duplex House derives its form from the prototype of a typical villager’s house of the Yangji-ri area. This work, proposed by the artist for the REAL DMZ PROJECT, is a dwelling for two Korean families, one from the North and the other from the South. The three floors of The Duplex House symbolize the history of the two Korean nations: the entrance room on the 1st floor stands for the common past, and the separate spaces of the 2nd floor for the present, depicting the two nations’ mutual eyeing of each other through two small windows. The top floor represents the joint future of the two reunified nations. Prior to reunification, however, the Duplex House is inhabited only by a single family, the South Korean one. The Duplex House conveys the artist’s wish for the two Korean families to live together in the same house as soon as reunification is achieved.
