Angkor. Faces. Stone. Ground
a space of temples, water, and tropical light
A country whose history long filled me with sadness. I arrived with pity, and left in admiration of the people who survived the genocide of their own state. Here, the will to live, to grow, to find joy despite everything, is felt at every step. Perhaps Buddhism helps to keep that inner steadiness. Siem Reap during Bon Om Touk and outside of it. Khmer people in their towns and at the temple — in celebration, in the everyday, in rain, in the crowd. Unstaged: whatever met me in the streets and corridors of Angkor. Street photography about the people for whom Angkor is not a tourist point, but part of daily life. Close-ups in which Angkor stops being a «landmark» and becomes geology. Stone that has carried a thousand years, moss, vines, carvings that no one will ever read again. The longer you look, the more you see. The most famous and the most remote parts of Angkor Wat. Crowds of tourists at the towers at sunset, empty corridors in the side galleries, bas-reliefs that no guide ever reaches. Frames shot between the known and the unknown — what only those willing to leave the main path ever see.
