Climate change is real. The rainy reason lasted until November 27, one day after the opening of the Photo Phnom Penh festival, even though it was a late opening date in the festival’s history. Now it’s hot, too hot for the season during the day, but the evenings are lov...

Uy Nou Sereimony

For personal reasons Uy Nou Sereimony has had to take time off to work at things other than photography. But he has never lost his passion for it and keeps on looking, sometimes rather unmethodically, for ways of expressing himself through the still image. After developing gra...

Miti Ruangkritya

Imagining Flood is a photographic study concerning the recent floods that have taken place in Bangkok. The collection of photos aims to capture the foreboding and surreal nature of the event by presenting the flood in a dreamlike and other worldly manner. When the news first a...

Mahesh Shantaram

If the photographer himself was not Indian, chances are that we would have been criticized for presenting a caricature image of India, a type of kitsch, of laughable practices. However, the look that this documentary artist takes at the exceptional sense of color is in fact a ...

Isabel Muñoz

While exploring dance in all parts of the world, Isabel Muñoz was especially taken with Cambodia. There, she came across the most precise encounter between bodies and architecture, between dance and sculpture. Just as she had done earlier for the tango and flamenco, she demanded ...

There is a house by the sea 120km from Hanoi called Thien Giao. In this house the occupant’s heartbeat beats in unison for one hope, the hope that they will all be able to love and be loved. I visited this house one year ago, and it did not leave me any lasting impressions or feeling...

Hoeng Keomakara

This photographer wants photography to take us beyond what the eye can see. He wants to expand our field of vision so that we can see the world, the real world, up close and differently. He therefore chose the panorama format which, when extended, enables him to capture in a si...

Danaé Panchaud

I’m from a generation that knew nothing of the naughtiness, activism, criticism and commitment of the women’s lib movements or of the artists back in the 1960s, 70s or 80s. The body that I know is a body codified to the extreme, whether in appearance, sexuality, health or youth...

Dareth Rosaline

Clothing was first used to protect the body... from the burning sun, from rain, from cold. It was also used to cover the body’s private parts. Then it became something functional—outfitted for work—then moredecorative and attractive. Human invented fashion and styles that never...

In the past, public telephones in Phnom Penh were simple affairs with landlines either in front of or in a store. There were all kinds of telephone booths or imitations. You would see long lists of numbers for places that could be called from that telephone and what the rate w...

Zoltán Jókay

For Zoltán Jókay, people are the main thing. And emotion. In that they give back to us something of ourselves, in that they perhaps enable us to better understand and feel. His portraits fit in with a documentary tradition that knows where it comes from, which is also very famil...
