How are these 'surprising'? I've seen and heard about these exact things in North Korea for at least a decade.
Weird that he says he's seen villages, etc, no one has seen before, because the driver was always getting lost. You mean, no outsiders have seen before!

It always baffles me that some tourists act like they're in a zoo, taking pictures of elephants...

That is NK in a nutshell. To me it will always be surprising even if it’s been known to be like that. The artist is talking about how the restrictions are a boon to his crrativity
It seems like the zoom-ins are deliberately cropping the two dictators. Wonder if he is ever allowed back in North Korea.
An album or slideshow would have been nice, instead of the video with the obnoxious zooming.

The artist's website has a nice browseable collection:

Thanks for sharing. Indeed, this photo collection is nice. I can’t help but feel sad for these people, maybe one day the dynasty will collapse and we’ll hear real uncensored stories from NK
