Tariq Zaidi’s book allows us to embark on an intriguing journey that challenges misconceptions and stereotypes surrounding this often-misunderstood country and its people.
In January 2020, North Korea officially closed its borders. But even before that date, photographing the enigmatic landscapes of North Korea posed immense challenges due to the regime’s strict control and prohibition of unauthorized photography. However, from a vast archive of images captured painstakingly over two years, in this book Tariq Zaidi curates a selection of more than 100 remarkable photographs that offer a wider perspective on a society often misunderstood and overshadowed by stereotypes.
