Khmer Din (2012)
In November 2012, Ronny Sen went to the Cambodian city of Siem Reap, hired a bike for two dollars a day and rode around at night taking photographs. Without a preconceived plan, he photographed faces, animals and bodies, in an attempt to capture decisive moments as well as those in a state of suspended animation. He was attracted to people on the fringes of society who manage to survive and thus escape the predictable final destinations such as prison, the mental institution or death. The city’s dark side not only fascinated Ronny Sen, but it displayed strong similarities with the disillusioned feeling he had at the time.
