The hill above Heyri Art Valley, an artists' village under construction about four miles south of the demilitarized zone between North and South Korea, is still marked by trenches from the 1950-53 Korean War. In one of these, the Korean artist Cho Duck-hyun has placed resin model heads that suggest the remains of South Korean soldiers excavated from the hillside.
Nearby, a trail of Korean characters in rusted steel traces its way to the top of the hill, where steel panels with cut-out characters -- all part of a sculpture by Lim Ok-sang -- form a poem dedicated to a South Korean spy who was sent to the North in the 1970s and never returned.
The themes of war and partition, here on the world's most fortified border, find further elaboration inside Heyri Art Valley's Jung Han-sook Memorial Hall, where two Swedish artists have installed the mock embassy of Elgaland-Vargaland.
