South Korea
I have been invited to return to SK for a 3 months on the strength of the proposal which I list here. The object is to produce a book on a curious village called 'Pension Town'.
PT is a themed American village with Cape Cod esque wooden houses, a FAMILY MART, and a baseball net. Rich SKs(it's mondo expensive to hire a complex for the weekend) come for weekends and seem to emulate American activities by day, and get drunk at night.
This shot of a car under a tarp by R. Frank is the point of departure for explaining the theoretical underpinnings of the work. I found a similarly veiled vehicle(probably a Hyundai) at PT.
