Captured in The Guardian. “Stephan Gladieu was allowed inside North Korea to photograph its people in amusement parks, cinemas and offices. Why was he given permission? “North Korea has always been an enigma to me,” he writes. “Why has it never wobbled while other authoritarian regimes collapsed in the upheavals brought about by the fall of the Berlin Wall, modernity and social media?” The French photographer’s portraits of North Koreans are currently showing at Les Rencontres de la Photographie, Le Jardin d’Été, Arles, Provence.”
