Autoasphyxiation

Na Mira
February 20–28, 2026
EMPAC Theater Lobby
Dates + Tickets

For staging grounds, Mira’s Autoasphyxiation is on view in EMPAC’s theater lobby. With shots tracking the Dragon Hill military garrison in Seoul, Autoasphyxiation fixates on the border surrounding this zone, which has been controlled by various state forces since its construction by the Japanese Imperial Army in 1906. Mira stages this landscape as a live transmission, where this boundary wavers between presence and disappearance, signal and silence.
