AP reporters Jean Lee and David Guttenfelder use their iPhones to document the Nork culture on Instagram. It’s a heck of a lot more interesting to see video about this mysterious despotism than to hear about it from a sushi chef who met the Dear Leader.

Lee and Guttenfelder may be the first people on the planet to stress over using the sepia or burnt filter when photographing a Nork highway. I intend to be the first to GIF the Hermit Kingdom. Pulitzer, here I come!

GIFing the DPRK rips open a hypnotic, never-ending porthole into oblivion. Feast your eyes on these:
