See-through panels are corten steel frames with a transparent plate. On that plate, a drawing visualises an object/activity that is not (or no longer) visible in the landscape. Through the correct perspective of the drawing and the correct positioning of the frame, the drawing is as it were projected into the current landscape. In this way, a special event or a former structure that stood at a specific location can come back to life for a while. Via the look-through panels, we make the special history and unique story of Noordoostpolder more visible.

The Doorkijkpaneel Klein Korea stands at the junction of Voorsterweg and Voorstertocht, just outside Marknesse, and tells the story of an experiment by the Dutch state with joint agricultural management. Looking through the panel, one can see farmers arguing over the use of the joint tractor, peasant women chasing each other with a broom because of stolen milk from each other's milk cans and a state inspector watching them. The name Little Korea refers to the Korean War, which played around the same time as the state experiment and saw immediate neighbours feuding with each other.
