Paul Virilio proposed filling the DMZ with an inaccessible airport. Awaiting activation, it “directs people’s visions, trajectories, approaches, flights.” Simultaneously, the terminal acts as a “permanent detector” that is “able to measure the space between dreams and reality.” The work is abstract and elusive, yet it acutely contextualizes the separation of the Koreas alongside the analogous separations of (at the time) East and West Berlin, Belfast, and Lebanon.
