Vietnamese artist Dinh Q. Lê has created a process of weaving photographs which have become his most well-known medium. In his latest series entitled "Khmer Reamker", Lê focuses on the failings of collective perceptions about Cambodia. The works combine the portraits of those caught in the Khmer Rouge conflict (1975-1979) combined with the images found in the Palace Museum of the epic good vs. evil tale, The Reamker (Ramayana), which offers a glimpse into the richness of Cambodian culture.
