Krátky popis
Erased by bombing during the Korean War, North Korea’s trophy
capital of Pyongyang was entirely rebuilt from scratch from 1953,
in line with the vision of the nation’s founder, Kim Il Sung.
Designed as an imposing stage set, it is a place of grand axial
boulevards linking gargantuan monuments, lined with stately piles
of distinctly Korean flavor, to be “national in form and socialist
in content.”Under the present leader, Kim Jong Un, construction has
ramped up apace—“Let us turn the whole country into a socialist
fairyland,” declares one of his official patriotic slogans. He is
rapidly transforming Pyongyang into a playground, conjuring a
flimsy fantasy of prosperityand using architecture as a powerful
anesthetic, numbing the population from the stark reality of his
authoritarian regime.Guardianjournalist and photographer Oliver
Wainwrighttakes us on an eye-opening tour behind closed doors in
the most secretive country in the world, revealing that past the
grand stone façades lie lavish wonder-worlds of marble and mosaic,
coffered ceilings, and crystal chandeliers, along with new
interiors in dazzling color palettes. Discover the palatial reading
rooms of the Grand People’s Study House, and peer inside the locker
rooms of the recently renovated Rungrado May Day Stadium, ready to
host a FIFA World Cup that will never come.This collection features
about 200 photographswith insightful captions, as well as an
introductory essay where Wainwright charts the history and
development of Pyongyang, explaining how the architecture and
interiors embody the national “Juche” ideology and questioning what
the future holds for the architectural ambitions of this enigmatic
country.
