North Korea's Candy-colored Interiors

posted December 10, 2015 #

This gallery of North Korea images is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, you've got a surprisingly pastel wonderland with a great emphasis on symmetry and architectural simplicity. On the other hand, you have a very strict totalitarian regime that rips families apart and keeps an entire country under its thumb, while being actively brainwashed into thinking their leader is some sort of demi-god. So, the admiration comes with a bit of a sting but it is well executed.
