Photographer Nicolas Righetti is one of the few Westerners invited to photograph Pyongyang’s “New Order of Happiness.” Righetti offers a riveting guided tour through this seductive yet chilling landscape; the paradoxes of an earthly paradise and the tragic outcome of an unattainable utopia present a dual message: “Welcome. Stay Away.” Essay by Orville Schell.
