Dutch photographer Eric de Vries is living in Siem Reap, Cambodia, the country he’s been travelling since 2000, and is currently working on two long-term projects called ‘Still Life in Khmer Style’ that covers landscapes, temple scenes and buddha statues and ‘Hello Darling’, which is about the girlbars around town. In the meantime he produced several series, most of them in black and white. Khmer Islam, Going Down Slow (by Train) and Khmer Standoff (at Preah Vihear) are 3 new series.

Eric de Vries’ love affair with Cambodia began in 2000 and shows no sign of waning as he’s just about to spend the next six months based in Phnom Penh on assignment. A photographer and artist, his book, Images of Cambodia – This Must Be The Place, was published by Cleartrails Publishing in The Netherlands in December 2006 and contains nearly 150 black & white and colour images taken between 2000 and 2006. The majority are black & white, capturing the good, the bad and the ugly faces of Cambodia, the smiles and the scowls, the signs of hope and the darker, more brooding aspects of this beautiful but tragic country. From Angkor to Bokor, from rubbish dumps to S-21, landscapes, portraits and images from around town and the countryside, evoke the diversity of Cambodia for the viewer. At least thirty of the photographs constitute the complete collections of four exhibitions that the photographer held in Phnom Penh and in The Netherlands in 2005. Images of Cambodia is a very valuable addition to the all-too-sparse number of publications of photographs outside those of Angkor and Cambodia’s temples. Andy Brouwer – june 2007
