The series was produced between 1994 and 1995 during an art residency at the Royal University of Arts in Phnom Penh, Cambodia with the participation of Cambodia Arts and AFAA.
The images were taken during the very beginning of my stay in Cambodia, at the museum of the Khmer genocide in Phnom Penh. Beyond this specific tragedy, this work is the expression of my personal questioning about mankind facing History.
The exhibition “Témoin S-21” has been shown on several occasions, in particular in the Musée de la résistance et de la déportation à Grenoble in 2008-2009 and during the Mois de la Photo in Paris in 2006 as well as during the photo festival of Levallois Perret directed by Mark Grosset, ex director of the French photo agency Rapho.
The exhibition was later shown in the Netherlands, as part of the international festival “Noorderlicht Photography”.
It is currently being shown in a group exhibition at “Air Asia” at Laghans Gallery in Prague.
