Cambodian Artist Tith Kanitha investigates the possible relationships between the artist’s personal experience and memories and her environment, namely the fast-changing landscape of Cambodia. Tith questions the status of the artist and its potential to engage with issues of community, gender and women’s identity. Her work thus act as documents of the effects of the economic and social development in Cambodia on the private and urban spheres, on the individual and her environment, and formulate a visual poetics that evoke the possibility of change. This time, she creates Hut’s Tep Soda Chan inspired by a Cambodian old film. Her hut is such an exotic piece and she explains to CoBo about it.
