| dcterms.abstract | This work seeks to examine how the experiences and memories of crossing national border lines are visually embodied in the art of two artists of Asian descent, Allan deSouza and Yong Soon Min. In both their individual and joint practices, which interpret the idea of boundaries in varied contexts, the " belonging to nowhere" idea is transformed into a powerful multisensory event. Framing deSouza and Min's works within the narrative of borders, therefore, can help one appreciate the significance of cooperation for diaspora artists, particularly in embracing their displacement and replacement experiences. The first two chapters attempt to scrutinize the different tactics of each artist in investigating the border theme. If deSouza's <italic>Threshold</italic> pictorially reenacts his own recollection of his encounter with the West through highly realistic images of empty air terminals, Min's two archival installations inspired by the DMZ consider the politically demarcated border in an instinctive way by alluding to universal and personal understandings of crossing national frontiers. The last chapter focuses on the two artists' collaborative multimedia installation, <italic>Projectory</italic>, exhibited at the seventh Gwangju Biennale held in Seoul, South Korea. Here, the way in which their individual artistic strategies are integrated into one shared concern through inviting audiences to participate in the narratives they have built is delineated. The ultimate aim of this thesis, thus, is to provoke dynamic discussion on the approaches that artists from different cultural and political backgrounds employ to establish a common ground. | |
