About the exhibition:
This exhibition comprises documentary photographs, maps, and archival materials focused on the urban space of Phnom Penh’s corners. Photographers Prum Ero captures the varied architecture and everyday life at the rounded and angular corner buildings from the perspective of the street walker. His selection of images is mapped around five of the capital’s main markets including Central, Kandal, Old, Olympic, and Orussey Markets, revealing a wide range of adaptations to original structues built between the 1910s-1980s. Driven by an impulse to record for future generations’ reference. Prum’s titles combine the directional and street indications with the date of documentation.
