In case you missed Denise Bertschi’s (@denisebertschi) exhibition “State Fictions. Beyond Blossoms and Borders” at the 16th Gwangju Biennale @gwangjubiennale, here are some impressions!

The show explores Swiss military presence in the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) through archival photographs and documents that critically examine the concept of neutrality.

The Biennale is coming to a close, but don’t worry: the book is available at 👉 vfmk.org

Published for the Swiss Pavilion at the 16th Gwangju Biennale at Eunam Museum of Art, commissioned by the Swiss Arts Council Pro Helvetia (@prohelvetia), and curated by Claire Hoffmann (@claire.d.hoffmann) and Tadeo Kohan (@tadkohan) from the @centreculturelsuisse in Paris.
