The book was based upon one of the most followed, shared and imitated monothematic Tumblr blogs in recent years. Created by João Rocha, an art director at an advertising firm in Lisbon, the blog is a collection of photographs which depict the former \"Dear Leader\" of North Korea, often accompanied by military personnel or senior advisers, engaged in the act of looking at things.\u003cbr\u003eSince the blog's creation in October 2010, Rocha has posted photographs appropriated from the North Korean Central News Agency, which he matches with deadpan captions: \"looking at cows\"; \"looking at blue rods\"; \"looking at pastry\"; \"looking at a metalworker\"; \"looking at a DVD labeling machine.\" Now available again after a long period of unavailability, this hilarious book includes an essay by visual culture writer Marco Bohr.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 192\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.8 x 9.6 x 6.7 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 12, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47175266599161,"sku":"9782365680615","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/d0dXYTFTSFhyclUzZ1hIbSs1MUp4UT09.webp?v=1767665644","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/kim-jong-il-looking-at-things-hardcover","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
