In Unperson, photographer Tim Franco shares the harrowing stories of North Korean Defectors as they make their way to South Korea.
The book is structured around three sections that reflect the process of defecting from North Korea to South Korea: the starting place, the long journey in-between, and the destination. On each page, the distance from Seoul is noted to show how long and deviating the journey can be.
