Combining long panoramic photographs with fictional diary entries in a black-and-white silent film, the work drifts into the imaginary Land R.

The fictional travelogue What Has Been Will Be Again, What Has Been Done Will Be Done Again, layered with a mix of visual elements, reimagines the story of a young Dutchman stranded in Joseon who has no real connection to the country. The title is drawn from Ecclesiastes 1:9.

This work twists the perspective of Hendrick Hamel, a white male clerk of the Dutch East India Company raised in a monotheistic worldview, reshaping geography, gender, and time. It is realized as a visual diary in panoramic format and a black-and-white silent film, and it also connects to a publication that expands upon the filmic work.
