“Hidden’ is a result of a long-term dialog between Charles Fox and Pantha and the journey she made through the Khmer Rouge (1975 -1979) landscape carrying over 90 family photographs.
The work attempts to articulate both the journey and the narrative, but also as an artifact which has been part prompt in the dialog, and a continued site of production and representation of the journey.
When displayed the book unfolds along a line which was created by a GPS recording of the recreation of the journey.
During this recreation Pantha wrote of her experience during the Khmer Rouge. The writing in Khmer has been translated into English. As the photographs were hidden during the Khmer Rouge the book also conceals elements of the photographs in response to the absence of photography through shifting political complications.
