Title
The Embrace (이상적인 포옹)
Date
2013
Description

Mata Dupont has animated those monuments to play with utopian ideas of reunification, and the significance of 'the embrace’ as representation of the reunification in the South Korean national psyche. The two figures from the 'Three Charters for National Reunification’ monument near Pyongyang embrace in joy, only to have their bliss dissipate and a new, and unexpectedly uncomfortable, era to emerge.
