Pyongyang, 2019. A fairly modern young woman poses near the Pyongyang bus station. Her handbag suggests an evolution in the way North Koreans dress which I began noticing during the last of my five trips there. In the background a man is talking on the phone, cellphones have become widespread in the last three years. The network is closed, controlled and does not allow international calls, but it is nevertheless a major social evolution.
Stephan Gladieu began his career as a war photographer in 1989, criss-crossing through, among other places, Europe, Central Asia, China, India and the Middle East. He likes to bear witness to the human condition through the production of portraits as in his series Hereros, Maï Maï, Homo Detritus and North Korea. The latter project was selected to headline the Rencontres d'Arles in 2021.
