Kim Jong shoots Trump dead
Kim Jong Un, a smoking pistol in his hand, looks down at the dead body of Donald Trump, sprawled on a red carpet next to a metal bag overflowing with US dollars. Behind the North Korean leader glows a neon slogan saying “The show must go on!” The scene is part of an installation art exhibition in Seoul -- a satire of the diplomacy over the Korean peninsula that has become “a big political show featuring two of the world’s biggest showmen.”
The piece by South Korean artist Lim Young-sun marks the end of a whirlwind year on the flashpoint peninsula, during which Kim and Trump traded threats of war and personal attacks against each other -- before their dramatic, first summit in Singapore. “I just wanted to show our political reality we live in, in which citizens get nervous, anxious and happy watching their every single move as if they are watching a movie,” Lim, 59, said.
The work portrays a film set, with Kim and Trump as friends and quarrelling over money. Eventually Kim, angered by the high interest rates demanded by Trump, shoots the lender to death.
