Made in North Korea: Graphics From Everyday Life in the DPRK

Posted: September 29th, 2017 | No Comments »

Lovely to see Nick Bonner and Simon Cockerell keeping themselves busy with the beautiful Made in North Korea: Graphics From Everyday Life in the DPRK – recommended for everyone’s coffee table immediately….

Made in North Korea uncovers the fascinating and surprisingly beautiful graphic culture of North Korea – from packaging to hotel brochures, luggage tags to tickets for the world-famous mass games. From his base in Beijing, Bonner has been running tours into North Korea for over twenty years, and along the way collecting graphic ephemera. He has amassed thousands of items that, as a collection, provide an extraordinary and rare insight into North Korea’s state-controlled graphic output, and the lives of ordinary North Koreans.
