The Struggle Under Ground: Inside North Korea’s Subway System [GALLERY]
05 Dec 2013 by Jasmine Stone in Culture, Politics, World
Almost a hundred metres below the streets of Pyonyang lie cavernous rooms tiled with intricate mosaics, emblazoned with government propaganda and adorned with gold statues of ‘great leaders’.
This is the world’s most secretive subway.
In a city almost devoid of stores, restaurants and cars, commuting has become the most important form of public participation. The sullen faces of passengers are symptomatic of a nation that is powerless, leashed inextricably to its tyrannical figureheads.
On the one hand, the subway itself is aesthetically appealing. Beautiful, in fact. On the other hand, the pictures paint an appalling picture of political power gone wrong.
