Olympic Stadium, Phnom Penh
Limited Edition
Edition of 2
Year
2018
Image Size
80 x 120 cm
Architect Vann Molyvann was monumental in creating the New Khmer style of architecture after Kampuchea secured independence in 1953. French mannerisms cloaked the city and a new direction was needed. A blend of Modern and traditional Angkor, the new built environment landed Phnom Penh the moniker 'Pearl of the East'. But today only a handful of Molyvann's masterpieces remain, the land beneath them sold out to foreign contractors to build new condos no one wants to live in. The National Olympic Stadium has, so far, survived this erasure of pre-war Khmer identity. Each day, this open public space is frequented by the community as a place to exercise, rest or simply observe. Despite its name, the stadium has never hosted an Olympic Games.
