Description
Inside North Korea: A Photographic Journey Behind Closed Doors Oliver Wainwright's insightful collection reveals the hidden world behind Pyongyang's grand façades. Through over 200 photographs, Wainwright charts the history and development of this enigmatic city, exploring how its architecture and interiors embody the national "Juche" ideology. Beyond the imposing stone monuments and lavish interiors, Wainwright uncovers a complex web of contradictions. From the palatial reading rooms of the Grand People's Study House to the locker rooms of the recently renovated Rungrado May Day Stadium, this book offers a unique glimpse into the inner workings of North Korea's authoritarian regime. With an introductory essay that sets the context for Wainwright's photographic tour, Inside North Korea is a thought-provoking exploration of a country shrouded in secrecy.
