Text by Alasdair Foster.
This book is Korean photographer Jongwoo Park’s (born 1958) photo-documentation of the Demilitarized Zone or DMZ of Korea, the strip of land dividing North and South Korea.
About 154 miles long, 3 miles wide, and 37 miles from Seoul, this buffer zone between the two countries is, despite its name, one of the most militarized borders in the world.

Not so long ago, the situation between the United States and North Korea was terrible. Absurd, preposterous, scary… but not apocalyptic. That has changed. Amazingly, we have a book of photographs that is chillingly right for the times. Korean photographer Jongwoo Park’s eye-popping 288-page DMZ: Demilitarized Zone of Korea is an “incredible document,” according to the New York Journal of Books, offering “a rare glimpse into a world only seen in the circumscribed rituals of international diplomacy and prisoner exchanges. Park does his best to present an unbiased and objective record of the military personnel, bases, and wildlife in the area. The DMZ becomes a real place.” Winner of a Steidl Book Award Asia, 2017. continue to blog
