3DPRK
3DPRK is a series of more than 100 portraits of local North Koreans photographed using a 3D stereoscopic technique 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.
Tančič’s work was exhibited around the world and featured in CNN Style.
Capturing the portraits via the 3D technique requires patience and understanding on the part of the subject, who must stand 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 where guides are not naturally disposed to prolonging the process of taking photographs in public spaces, this was no mean feat.
