When I first moved to Cambodia, the White Building was a stone’s throw away from my house. I passed it every day while walking to work, saw it from my office window, and often wondered why such an interesting piece of architecture had been left to fall into ruin.
This month, AsiaLIFE’s cover feature has been dreamed up by some young members of that very community – the White Building Collective. In recent months, this group of young artists have attracted press attention for their photographic project documenting the lives of ordinary Cambodians, called Humans of Phnom Penh.
