North Korea's famous mass games can be seen in close-up detail for the very first time - after a determined German photographer managed to convince communist party officials to grant him access to the national stadium.

The incredible displays feature over 100,000 people in the performing complex routines that include tens of thousands of gymnasts synchronizing movements in line with a background of card-turners who create an ever-changing backdrop.

The rapid changes of image sees one card exchanged for another in a swift and synchronized movement that takes hours of rehearsals and detailed choreography.
