<Angkor People> 2009. Exhibition in Norway

​

'Angkor People' is about a small village in Siem Reap, Cambodia's tourist city.

A backpacking trip to Cambodia at the recommendation of my parents at the age of 18, before graduating from high school, is the starting point of this work.

After that, I visited the same village for several years and continued working with the same people.

Thanks to the people who leaned against the Angkor Wat temple, the space background and title of the work became Angkor.

I wanted to tell the story of <people who live with strong space and strong solidarity> through the residents who have been living a part of their lives in the Angkor Wat temple.
