The Visitor: Lost Village (Jong Nam), Jeju Island, Korea
Work in progress (part of the Story Seekers project)
Research material: Video, Text, Data
The Visitor: Lost Village is a series of videos capturing Lost Villages on Jeju Island in Korea. These Villages were named to commemorate small villages that were destroyed during the Jeju 4.3 (1947-1954). As an outsider, I carefully stroll through the villages as if visiting neighbours. As of 2019, 122 villages are recorded as Lost Villages. Some have been rebuilt, while others remain unoccupied and untouched.
