《Real World》 is a series of photographs taken in a thema park in South Korea which features miniatures of world-famous tourism places. There the fake architectures and realistic Seoul’s landscape coexist, the rather calm images bring weired sensation and suggest the envious looks the South Koreans seem to turn towards outside of the country. Another series,《Blow Up》 is a set of enlarged photographs extracted from the original film taken in North Korea. Lika a sneak shot, the images play skilfully on their viewers’ voyeuristic interests, on the other hands, reality of the unliaristic country will be gradually sliped out from the blow-up images, which are different from the scene we normally see through sometimes exaggerated reports the mass media bring.

Mixing these two different series togther in one book we reveal the ironical fantasy and never-fulfilled wish of the two coundties and force the most realistic state of the Korean Peninsula come to the front.
