For more than half a century, North Korea has been a pariah state, ruled by a dynasty of Communist autocrats and closed to the outside world. Philippe Chancel obtained rare permission to take photographs there. His calm, restrained images convey an eerie unreality: the meticulously choreographed celebrations, the heroic statues of the Dear Leader, and the broad, empty boulevards. The accompanying essays chart the countrys political history and explore the aesthetic of Chancels photographs.
