The DMZ, also known as the Korean Demilitarised Zone is two hundred and fifty kilometers long, four kilometers wide, and runs across the thirty-eighth parallel. Resulting in a divide between the Korean peninsula, into North Korea and South Korea. The DMZ has been a de facto buffered international border since an Armistice Agreement was signed in 1953. So, now thousands of troops from North and South Korea are stationed on both sides of the border line. Constant visual and electronic surveillance is conducted across this place. Electrified barbed wire fences, armed guard posts as well as watch towers defend the perimeters of the zone. Land mines and heavy weapons are in place, ready to be used. In this great book, the thirteen photographs are presented were made by Michael Kenna during his visits to the South Korean DMZ locations of Cheolwon, Gangwondo in 2005 and Paju, Gyeonggido in 2012.
