APAP lists the piece as a single-channel 4K video with sound, running five minutes and 30 seconds. The studio [describes it](https://www.instagram.com/p/Dd7y29BEpGD/?ref=killscreen.com) as "a game about the perils of cartographically locating paradise" and has posted screenshots and [a clip](https://www.instagram.com/p/Dd7wEWch9v9/?ref=killscreen.com). In the clip, an owl-headed figure in pale blue walks through an arched doorway and up to a balcony beneath a pair of painted eyes. 

The subject is the long history of attempts to chart where paradise is. APAP's text traces the word to *pairi-daēza*, an enclosure, and notes that the more precisely paradise was described, the harder its location became to reach or verify: beyond mountains, in secret valleys, at the edges of maps.

APAP8 opened Sept. 30 with 41 artists and teams from four countries, across Anyang Art Park, Anyang Pavilion and other sites. It is the project's first edition in three years. Killscreen presented the studio's solo exhibition *The Concentric Fictions of a Generous History* in Los Angeles in 2023 and 2024.
