Flowers of North Korea – the Kim Dynasty
an approach to the representation of power
The flow of images from all around the world has grown immeasurably with the rise of the mass media and the Internet and has expanded our access of information to a global scale. In spite of this, a few countries do still succeed to tightly control the distribution of information concerning their state of affairs.
Very little information and few images reach the world about the ruling dynasty of communist North Korea: the obligatory photographs of the Eternal (already deceased) leader’s statue; the photos of a former American President with the current leader intentionally blurred to obscure the reading; the single verified photo of the anointed next leader as a young boy.
This informational void leaves an enormous imaginary space that is filled with expert analysis, far-fetched assumptions and wild ideas. One single photograph can become the starting point for the re-construction of a whole configuration of mental and political entanglement.
Isn’t that similar to the task of the portrait artist? Reading the face of the portrayed to peer into the world behind, to infer from the visible the invisible essence of this person?
