The work simulates the scenery along the flight path of a South Korean drone as claimed by the North Korean government in 2024.

These two border-crossing acts, born of entirely different motivations, recall Nikita Khrushchev’s saying: “Politicians are the same all over. They promise to build a bridge even where there is no river.”
