Suddenly Degas

Untitled #27: Young North Korean ballet dancer. Photo: Chris Marker. As John Fitzgerald writes in “Coréennes”, an essay on Chris Marker photography taken in North Korea in the late 1950s, on display at Peter Blum Gallery in New York, United States, “The little ballerina in Untitled #27 more closely calls to mind the world of Edgar Degas than Kim Il-sung”.
