Description
A book like no other!
Kim Jong Il Looking at Things is one of the most followed, shared and imitated monothematic Tumblr of recent years. Without stripping these photographs of their primary function - to elevate Kim Jong Il to the status of icon - this series forces us to modify the objective of propaganda. Accompanied by an essay by Marco Bohr entitled Looking at Kim Jong Il Looking at Things, the book reveals the roots of our fascination with these images accumulated on the Internet - these memes - by analyzing how a series of seemingly innocent photographs becomes viral and attractive. By publishing Kim Jong Il Looking at Things in the FOLLOW ME collection, Collecting Images Today, Jean Boîte Éditions continues to shed light on another art scene, one that sets up the online collector as creator, and the ephemeral as perennial.
