The Party Foundation Monument was an impressive piece of architecture. As its name states, this is a monument dedicated to the Communist Party and Socialist principles of North Korea. This was the most memorable monument and image of North Korea.
The monument is a circular platform with Communist slogans and friezes of the North Korean 'worker'. The images are life-like.
Dominating the structure are three life-like giant hands, each 50m high. One hand is holding a hammer, a paintbrush, and a sickle, each representing the worker, intellectual, and farmer respectively, all uniting for Communism.
The hammer, representing the worker.
The paintbrush, representing the intellectual.
The sickle, representing the farmer.
Chrys, Guillaume, Tim, Giuseppe, and I formed a Socialist Realism pose in front of the Party Foundation Monument. We were all, tongue-in-cheek, devoted to Communism ourselves. That being said, we are all fans of Socialist Realism and therefore wanted to have our own propaganda photograph.
