The artist duo PARKing CHANce is made up of two brothers, Korean lmmaker Park Chan-wook and Korean media artist Park Chan-kyong. Their family name, “Park,” and the shared rst syllable of their given names, “Chan,” are used in their team name, “PARKing CHANce,” which literally means nding a place to park. True to their name, PARKing CHANce is on the lookout for opportunities to work on special projects that are not part of their usual work as individuals. As a team, they are interested in unique projects with a more experimental and artistic focus such as short lms, documentaries, and music videos. For the work Decades Apart commissioned by the Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain for the exhibition Highlights, PARKing CHANce has conceived an original immersive 3D sound and image installation. Based on the set of Joint Security Area (JSA) (2000), a movie by Park Chan-wook, new images were lmed for the work and sound treated in a very surprising way to give the visitor a total experience: “As opposed to the somewhat hopeful mood around the time when the lm Joint Security Area was released, North and South Korea’s relationship has deteriorated in the past seventeen years. As if re ecting the current situation, the Panmunjeom set built for the lm’s production has become a decrepit sight, and even this is soon to be demolished. Through the use of 3D cinematography and the montage of the original soundtrack, we wander around this ghost house that feels like both a reality or a dream, somewhere in between the present and seventeen years ago."
