Performance Info
The Robo Cafe/Labor Support Goods Cafe by Lee Boo-rok takes up a part of the exhibition as a concept store. Borrowing the appearance of a sewing factory of the GIC, the artist refurbished it as a coffee shop. The sewing machines turned into tables for negotiations to discuss the lost time after the closure of the Complex and at the same time, they also look like places of rest for those people that commuted between Seoul and Gaeseong. The table clothes were designed using slogans for higher production that had been agreed on in inter-Korean negotiations and combined with statistical information on the GIC showing its dystopian-utopian character as well as North Korean propaganda writings.
