About the Book

A series of more than 100 portraits of local North Koreans photographed using a 3D stereoscopic technique, a short documentary charting the process of creating the portraits and a critically-acclaimed 3D art book by the award-winning photographer Matjaž Tančič.

Tančič’s unique 3D photography medium provides a depth of image that normal photography cannot. The resulting photographs were showcased through interactive pieces in CNN and The Guardian, as well as being exhibited in Beijing, Hong Kong, Houston and Pyongyang – the latter being the first time that Western photography was shared with a local audience.

Capturing the portraits via the 3D technique required patience and understanding on the part of the subject – standing motionless for minutes while photographs are captured to cover the requisite perspectives. In a country where people are understandably wary of the Western-wielded camera, and guides are not naturally disposed to prolong the process of taking photographs in public spaces.
