HOTEL DE LA PAIX "ONE STEP ON A MINE, IT'S ALL OVER..."
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Bronwyn Burns
Arts Lounge Curator
bburns@hoteldelapaixangkor.com
Hôtel de la Paix presents "One step on a mine, it's all over." the first
international exhibition of Japanese war photographer, Taizo Ichinose, at
The Arts Lounge until 6th February 2007.
In November 1973, Taizo Ichinose was captured and killed by Khmer Rouge
soldiers, not far from the Angkorian temples. His most precious dream had
been to reach Angkor Wat and immortalize it in photography.
At the age of just twenty-four, Taizo left Japan for the first time as a
freelance photojournalist, heading for the war-torn regions of South-east
Asia. During his first visit to Cambodia in early 1972, he was blacklisted
as a photojournalist by the government and forced to leave the country.
He moved on to cover conflicts in Vietnam, only to return to Siem Reap the
following year, under the guise of a boxing teacher, to continue his journey
to Angkor, recording the uprising of the Khmer Rouge against the government
forces under Lon Nol coup.
The photographs and memoirs he left behind depict not only soldiers in
battle, but also the daily life of people and children in villages and towns
that continued despite the war. Now on the thirty-third anniversary of his
death, these rare historical archives of both Cambodia and Vietnam are
exhibited for the first time outside of Japan at The Arts Lounge, initiating
the international acclaim that Taizo deserved.
The Arts Lounge offers an ambient and thought provoking setting, providing
guests and visitors the opportunity to celebrate the spirit of Cambodia,
both past and present, traditional and contemporary. Visitors will take with
them a deeper understanding of Khmer culture and an appreciation of Khmer
heritage within the global context. The Arts Lounge is fast becoming a
cornerstone in Hôtel de la Paix's commitment to respectful tourism and
contribution to the development of the local community. Hôtel de la Paix is
operated by Bed Management Company, Bangkok, which is recognized as a
creative and successful developer of independent boutique hotels and
destination restaurants and bars in Southeast Asia. In Siem Reap, Bed
Management also operates a hospitality training institute at the 18-room
sister hotel, The Shinta Mani.
For reservations contact: book@hoteldelapaixangkor.com or book online at

Exhibitions at Hotel de la Paix
1) “One step on a mine, it’s all over…”, By Taizo Ichinose (1947-1973)
The first international exhibition of Japanese war photographer held abroad
and in Cambodia, with images of Cambodia and Vietnam during the early
1970's.
In November 1973, Taizo Ichinose was captured and killed by Khmer Rouge
soldiers, not far from the Angkorian temples. His most precious dream had
been to reach Angkor Wat and immortalize it in photography.
At the age of just twenty-four, Taizo left Japan for the first time as
a freelance photojournalist, heading for the war-torn regions of South-east
Asia. During his first visit to Cambodia in early 1972, he was blacklisted
as a photojournalist by the government and forced to leave the country.
He moved on to cover conflicts in Vietnam, only to return to Siem Reap
the following year, under the guise of a boxing teacher, to continue his
journey to Angkor, recording the uprising of the Khmer Rouge against the
government forces under Lon Nol coup.

battle, but also the daily life of people and children in villages and towns
that continued despite the war. Now on the thirty-third anniversary of his
death, these rare historical archives of both Cambodia and Vietnam are
exhibited for the first time outside of Japan, initiating the international
acclaim that Taizo deserved.
2) "Legs", by Claude Estebe
" And what makes him wonder, and which makes us wonder with him, is how
much these legs can express: a culture, a society, an ancestral tradition
marching against modern times. Claude Estèbe is an archeologist of
contemporary life".
Some humorous, fresh and colourful series of pictures on Japanese women
legs...No more words, come and discover...

Film screening at FCC on Dec 13 Phnom Penh
You are cordially invited to attend the first screening of a new film, "Chang Kheun Pit" (Wanting to See the Truth ), produced by the Open Society Justice Initiative in collaboration with award-winning filmmakers Rob Fruchtman and Lex Fletcher, and the Khmer Institute for Democracy.
The screening will take place on Wednesday December 13, at 6:30 PM at the Foreign Correspondents Club (FCC) . The film lasts 31 minutes -- for those who wish to remain, the screening will be followed by a short question and answer session about the film and outreach strategies for the Extraordinary Chambers.
This will be a casual event open to any who wish to attend. However, a seat can be reserved for you if you RSVP to Tara Urs: tara.urs@gmail.com, (hand phone) 012-408-623.
The film is intended for a Cambodian audience as an outreach tool. The film will only be shown publicly with English subtitles once, at this event. There will be two more showings in Phnom Penh, in Khmer language only, with official opening ceremonies on December 16 and 17 ( 3:30PM) at the Chenla Theater at the Phnom Penh Cultural Center . All are welcome to attend those screenings as well. Seating will be on a first come first serve basis.The film was developed out of research conducted by the Justice Initiative which found that young Cambodians have difficulty believing their parent's stories about the Democratic Kampuchea regime. Young people commonly report that they cannot believe because they haven't seen the events "with their own eyes." The purpose of the film was to encourage young people to take these stories seriously by showing some of the available "evidence," and introducing them to the Extraordinary Chambers as a source for more information in the future.
The director of the film, Rob Fruchtman, is the winner of a Sundance Film Festival award for his direction of the documentary film "Sister Helen." The cinematographer, Lex Fletcher, is the winner of several Emmy Awards, including an Emmy for an earlier film about Angkor Wat. The producer of the film, Tara Urs, will be on hand to answer questions at the FCC. She has been working on legal issues related to the Extraordinary Chambers since 2003, and has worked on developing outreach strategies related to the Court since June 2005.

Hey There!
First of all I would like to welcome those of you who gave me email recently
and now receive Popil news for the first time. It won't be the last! At
least for a while.
Please let me give you some info about the trip my students and I have made
to Siem Reap recently during the Angkor Photo Festival.
Among the 18 students I have at the gallery, 11 could join and go with me to
Siem Reap from November 24th to 27th, four days, plus three nights in an
ordinary Cambodian guesthouse. Mornings they would usually visit temples as
some of them had never been to Angkor. Afternoons we would spend time
visiting places where Angkor Photo Festival presented exhibitions. Evenings
there would be some more things to see, outside slides shows and also
opening parties to attend in many different places.
On my very own point of view, as a photo teacher, I believe that this trip
to SR was beneficial to the students as it could enrich their culture of
image and photography, show them some strong documentary or art works, give
them an idea about the diversity of work you can see in the field of
photography.
I would like to thank people who have supported PhotoClass until now and
made that trip to Siem Reap possible, so special thanks to Jim Mizerski,
Lyno Vuth, David Hall, Sarah Oliveira, Jane Martin, Cheryl Turner and Sandy
Chum for helping the Class. Your supports - plus the monthly participation
of the students - made this all possible.
A very special thank to Nelly from "Bons Voyages" Travel Agency in Phnom
Penh who offered us all the bus tickets to go and come back, that was a
great help!
A special thank to John Mac Dermot Photo Gallery where students have spent
nearly two hours watching, drawing and talking about Peter Steinhauer's
great photo work on Vietnam.
A final special thank to all staff at Angkor Photo Festival for welcoming
our group and most of all for organizing this Photo Festival in Siem Reap
Cambodia.
Attached file, you can get a mosaic with a few pixs from this trip in Siem
Reap.
PhotoClass is now going on, students are on their way to practicing and work
on their personal project. Works will be shown at French Cultural Center in
July 2007. I will let you know about it these next months.
Vandy Rattana's "Looking in my Office" photo show can be seen at Popil until
the end of January, don't miss it. Pop in gallery at lunch time and be
welcome to have a snack on the first floor as Popil Snack is now operating.
Ooooh, that was a long email!
With my Best PhotoGraphic Regards,
