ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Limited edition of 15. C-type print on Fuji Crystal archival paper with a semi-matt finish. Individually numbered and signed on reverse. Journalist and photographer Oliver Wainwright travelled to North Korea in 2015, gaining a rare glimpse behind closed doors in the most secretive country in the world. His photographs are collected in a new book, Inside North Korea, published by Taschen. Built for the 1989 World Festival of Youth and Students (a kind of communist Olympic Games), the May Day Stadium was designed to resemble the unfurling petals of a magnolia flower, or a parachute that has just settled on the ground. It is said to be the largest stadium in the world, with capacity for 114,000. It was used for the Mass Games gymnastic performances for years, and reopened in 2015 after a two-year renovation, which saw a new football pitch and running track installed, along with ancillary rooms for training and press conferences – together with the optimistic addition of the FIFA and Olympic logos.
