Erased

Part of a series that details the decay of images in the Toul Sleng Genocide Museum in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. The museum exhibits hundreds of photographs of prisoners who were destroyed by the Khmer Rouge. Some of these images are made from damaged negatives; others photographs show more recent damage to the print emulsion. These effects heighten the already emotionally-charged images and provoke meditations on the association between death and photography.
