Rafal Pruszynski – riverside | burn magazine:
Riverside is a chapter in a larger on-going project entitled “Marooned”. Marooned of course refers to being stuck on an island. South Korea, though not technically an island, is still cut off from the rest of Asia by North Korea, a barrier more difficult to cross than any sea or ocean. It is therefore a de facto island, an island I have been living on for the last 8 years. “Marooned” is my look at the island that has been my home for nearly a decade, a home that even after 8 years is still a bit of an awkward fit for a foreigner who isn’t quite as immersed as he could be, though it wouldn’t really be possible for a foreigner to immerse himself completely in what is still a rather conservative society.
