Park Chan-kyong and Kyungah Ham are participating in a group exhibition titled Paradoxa 2018. Art from Middle Korea at Casa Cavazzini, Udine, Italy. Curated by Denis Viva, the project focuses on the notion of paradox and contradiction. Park Chan-kyong and Kyungah Ham aim to address the issue of their national identity within complex political dynamics by involving other possible cultural background, alternative representations, or new forms of interactions between different perspectives.

Kyungah Ham will show 〈What you see is the unseen/ Chandeliers for Five Cities BC 02-05 (2015-2016)〉, a large tapestry made by North Korean embroiderers the artist hired clandestinely. The work is about communication that circumvents censorship and includes occult slang phrases, pop images, song lyrics, and other western contents censored by the regime of North Korea.

Park Chan-kyong will present 〈Child Soldier (2017)〉, is a digital video made by photographing each scene with a 35mm film camera. The photographs depict a North Korean soldier–a young boy–who wanders the woods, seemingly with no intention. These images of childhood contrast with the image of North Korea that is often constructed by the media—an image marked by militant patriarchal violence and radical ideologies.
