His exhibition "Oasis of Silence" is currently on display in the National Museum Phnom Penh. At Meta House Presser is exhibiting the results of his workshop "My place of Silence" with Cambodian and foreign photographers.
To Presser "Phnom Penh seems to be one of the noisiest and busiest cities in South East Asia". He asked the workshop participants to search for silent places in Phnom Penh.

NICE HAT!Brilliant Doc by David Brisbin/CAN: What does it mean when the royal crown has gone missing, when a single scarf serves both torture and joy, when peasant palm hats speak of ethnic division, when a cloth cap from another country defines a revolution, or when a dancer's headdress survives 800 years? These are among the hats that frame the Cambodian face, and offer an intimate window on how the Khmer have withstood the worst and embodied the best of humanity for a thousand years.
