Photography from Tomas van Houtryve's 2013 Pulitzer Center-supported reporting project, "Borderlands: In the Shadow of North Korea" is featured alongside work from other international photographers who reported in North Korea as part of a exhibition at the Drents Museum from April 3 to August 30.

Drents Museum in The Netherlands presents this exhibition to highlight an alternative view to the "Kim Utopia" idealized vision of North Korea.
