Myeon-bang
Myeon-bang (“면 방”) is a dramaturgical reproduction of a North Korean textile factory floor. Carefully crafting the factory settings, architectural features and propaganda artefacts, the installation reveals the contribution of the textile industry to economic development, cultural production, women empowerment, and city making.
As visitors interact with QR codes that accompany the key physical elements in this space, they gain secondary glimpses into the manifold contradictions that riddle North Korea’s past and present. The digital extension of Myeon-bang provides a fuller understanding of North Korea that defies easy stereotyping, as is commonplace in mainstream media.
