Non-Fiction Photography
All but closed to outside visitors and influence, its public
posture guarded and combative, we see almost nothing from
inside North Korea. Award-winning photographer Mark Edward
Harris has had rare access to this reclusive country,
traveling within its borders as well as documenting life
along its northern border with China and the highly
militarized DMZ dividing North and South Korea. His images
are amazing: the monumental architecture and empty streets
of the capital; tightly controlled zones of economic and
tourist trade with South Korea; mass games featuring 100,000
choreographed participants. Short essays, extended captions,
and a foreword by North Korea expert Bruce Cumings further
illuminate a country increasingly at the center of
international politics.
