Phnom Penh: Eric Beugnot exhibits his photography work on automotive-parts workshops in Phnom Penh. Eric chose to shoot his photos in black and white to depict the color less world of iron and scraps. Amoncellements, or « piles » in french, is the title of the exhibition, because its the first thing that comes to mind upon entering these workshops. But Eric is primarily interested in the human factor. It is often difficult to discern it amongst all the scraps, but its there nonetheless: portraits of workers, bosses, visitors, times of efforts and rest, handiwork... These are all the aspects of a familiar but often ignored activity in Phnom Penh. It is on Oct 13th at the Chinese House
