While travelling the border between China and North Korea, the artist took note of the wire mesh fence running for many hundreds of kilometers alongside the Tumen River and its forests, which act as a natural border between the two countries. There is a huge discrepancy between the vistas on show on each side of the fence, but at the same time a subtle continuity connects them. Despite the strict border controls, plants, animal populations and bodies of water continue to freely traverse the barrier erected between these two modern nation states according to their own organic ways of being. The artist has selected for this film clips that left a particularly strong impression on her, including one scene serendipitously captured when extreme weather conditions interfered with her recording equipment. Unbounded Landscape prompts us to explore the relationship between the explicitness of boundaries and the uncertainty of ecology.
沿着中朝边境旅行的过程中，艺术家注意到作为界河的图们江和河边森林里拉着漫长的铁丝网隔离带，蔓延几百公里。铁丝网两侧的两国景观有着巨大的落差，同时又有着微妙的关联。尽管边境把手森严，水体、植物和动物种群依然以各自的有机方式跨越现代国家的阻隔。艺术家挑选出边境旅行中记忆深刻的影像片段，包括一段摄影工具在极端气候条件下技术性失控而偶然获得的影像。《蔓延中的风景》意在引发人为区隔的明确性与生态的不确定性之间关系的探讨。
