A photographic exploration from a Westerner living and travelling in
North Korea for two years.
What happens when you travel to a place where even basic truths are
ambiguous? Where sometimes you can't trust your own eyes or feelings?
Where the divide between real and imagined is never clear?
For two years, Lindsey Miller lived in North Korea, long regarded as one
of the most closed societies on earth. As one of Pyongyang's small
community of resident foreigners, Lindsey was granted remarkable
freedoms to experience the country without government minders. She had a
front row seat as North Korea shot into the headlines during an
unprecedented period of military tension with the US and the subsequent
historic Singapore Summit.
However, it was the connection with individuals and their families, and
the day-to-day reality of control and repression, that delivered the
real revelations of North Korean life, and which left Lindsey utterly
changed from the woman who had nervously disembarked from her plane onto
an empty runway just two years before.
This is her extraordinary photographic account, a testament to the
hidden humanity of North Korea.
