Nicolas Axelrod - Children of Cambodia - Opening Night this Friday

Dear friends

Cafe Living Room would like to invite you to the first of two special
photography exhibitions we are holding during Photo Phnom Penh.

Nicolas Axelrod - Children of Cambodia
Opening Night Event, Friday 27th November 7:00pm - Cafe Living Room,
#9, Street 306, Phnom Penh

Nicolas Axelrod settled in Cambodia in 2008 to work as a freelance
photographer. Amazed by the beauty of Khmer culture and way of life,
he was equally drawn to the changes and growth that we can witness in
Cambodia's everyday life.

Intrigued by these transformations, his personal work has been
directed at documenting Cambodia's evolution. As part of this process
he has focused his photography on the new generation of Khmers,
concentrating on those who have been left behind in these times of
rapid change. Documenting both rural and urban youth as they work,
live, learn and play.

Nicolas' show 'Children of Cambodia' was recently displayed in
Lausanne, Switzerland, at Gallery Black and White. This will be the
first time this series is exhibited in Cambodia.
