Exhibition Tour: North Korea Datazone Project
Philippe Chancel offers rare insight into a long term project made inside one of the world’s most tightly controlled societies. The exhibition presents a carefully constructed visual record shaped by restriction, surveillance, and limited access.
Rather than focusing on what is hidden, the tour examines what can be read within permitted spaces. Attention is given to visual patterns, atmosphere, and repetition, showing how meaning can emerge even when the photographer’s freedom is severely constrained.

Philippe ChancelPhilippe Chancel is a Paris-based photographer who bridges art, documentary, and journalism. With a career spanning over forty years, he is known for projects such as DPRK, Datazone, Fukushima, and L’empire des Signes. His photography explores themes of power, identity, and collective memory, often focusing on sites of transformation and tension. Exhibited at Rencontres d’Arles, the Venice Biennale, and the Centre Pompidou, his work continues to challenge the boundaries of contemporary documentary photography while addressing the role of visual media in a rapidly changing world.
