A Wrong Place (Greening the DMZ)   2007
Green Line, Nicosia, Cyprus

A Wrong Place is a site-responsive work that was commissioned by the Centre for Innovation in Culture and the Arts in Canada for the symposium Performing Identity, Crossing Borders. The performance is staged at the Green Line in the divided city of Nicosia, Cyprus. Visual signifiers of the Demilitarized Zone in Korea are collapsed onto the contentious politics of the divided island nation, intended to produce wider, global discourse of politics and culture. "Wrong Places" is an on-going series of public performances that bring together seemingly disconnected historical events and places. (see I Have/Had A Dream 2008)
