North Korea's mass games performed by over 100k people pictured up close for first time
By Daily Mail Reporter UPDATED: 15:30 GMT, 27 November 2011 North Korea's famous mass games can be seen in close-up detail for the very first time - after a determined German photographer managed to convince communist party officials to grant him access to the national stadium. The incredible displays feature over 100,000 people in the performing complex routines that include tens of thousands of gymnasts synchronizing movements in line with a background of card-turners who create an ever-changing backdrop.
These vivid color photos taken during the Great Depression and World War II capture an era generally seen only in black-and-white. Photographers working for the United States Farm Security Administration (FSA) and later the Office of War Information (OWI) created the images between 1939 and 1944. The FSA/OWI pictures depict life in the United States, including Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, with a focus on rural areas and farm labor, as well as aspects of World War II mobilization, including factories, railroads, aviation training, and women working. The original images are color transparencies ranging in size from 35 mm to 4-by-5 inches.
