News Italian artist draws Kim Jong Un for his art showOdd sign directing viewers to goofy internet video has serious underlying purpose, artist says
Strange billboards sporting Kim Jong Un’s face have recently been seen in the central area of Milan, Italy. The billboards did not have any additional information, except that they direct passersby to the website welcometonorthkorea.org, which features a video of four Teletubbies, with Kim Jong Un’s face superimposed, softly singing a North Korean song. The self-styled “Ambassador of Minister of Socio-cultural Propaganda of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea” Max Papeschi, an Italian artist, said this mysterious billboard was set up to host a “one-day-only” art show featuring Kim Jong Un in Milan on April 22.
