“Welcome to Pyongyang” by Charlie Crane on the Behance Network

These carefully staged, rare photos of the world’s most secretive country are captivating.

 The set of images displayed is pretty haunting in just how sterile and lonely all the places and people look.  Grand rooms and plazas on diplay with no one using or enjoying them except maybe one person staring at the camera with a neutral expression.  No smiles, no chaos, just a perverse and rigid order on display.

 
Empty plazas


Empty restaurants.


And empty train stations.

Pyongyang is a city of ghosts built for an elite echelon of dictatorial sycophants meant to impress an audience mostly banned from ever seeing it in person.

The photos are beautiful and haunting. 

As I looked through this collection, I wondered if beneath these stoic expressions, the people might actually be happy. And I marveled at how incredibly pristine everything looked: the statues, the buildings, the people, and even the water. It is hauntingly beautiful. 

i just got the chills.
