PORTRAITS BY MARC POLLACK
The work of American artist Marc Pollack (who lives in Phnom Penh) is not
about what you see but what you think. And he thinks flat images are the
result of the evolution of the brain to read lines and to reduce symbolic
thought to two dimensions. Unfortunately, he also thinks we are the victims
of superstition and anomaly. "Portraits" is about people he has met,
talisman that protect them and portable art objects.

New Zealander Stanley Harper (who will be present at the screening)

Yan Chheing who has an extraordinary grasp of the complex issues involved.

Not only people but also fish and plants, use the Mekong for survival. Two
