North Korean soldiers and workers were observed loading scrap metal into the boat before it crossed the Yalu river to the Chinese riverbank at an illegal crossing point.

Join the Pulitzer Center in partnership with FotoWeek DC 2013 for an exhibition of "Borderlands," a visual study of global borders and the populations they affect. Images by Tomas van Houtryve and Louie Palu will be displayed at the FotoNOMA Gallery.

Van Houtryve's project, "Borderland: In the Shadow of North Korea" examines the virtually impenetrable and mysterious North Korea from the borders that surround it. Palu uses his camera to look at the U.S.–Mexico border and tenuous relations on both sides in his project, "Drawing the Line: The U.S.-Mexico Border." Both photographers transcend the idea of borders as physical objects, showing the people whose lives are directly affected and impacted by the presence of some of the world's most volatile borders.
