Pha Lina, a 27-year-old Cambodian staff photographer at The Phnom Penh Post, portrayed six families from forests of Ratanakiri province. As they live under the threat of the destruction of their daily environment at the hands of loggers, the family members were wrapped in measuring tape to symbolise the hindrance that development poses to their everyday lives. His work will be displayed at the Institut Français. Pha Lina

Between 1958 and 1964, Micheline Dullin worked in Cambodia as a photographer. For a time she was King Norodom Sihanouk’s official photographer and accompanied him on his trips to the provinces. She documented all this with a Rolleiflex in square format. Today, her photos provide views of Phnom Penh construction in the golden years of Cambodian architecture and provides aerial views of a Phnom Penh that no longer exists. Her work will be exhibited along Sisowath Quay’s riverside promenade. MICHELINE DULLIN

Laurent Chéhère, 41, worked in advertising before dropping his career to pursue his artistic passions. He started his Flying Houses exhibition in 2007 to document his neighbourhood in the suburbs of Paris. ‘I wanted to tell the true or invented story of those sad and battered anonymous houses and give them an identity,’ said Chéhère in a statement. His work will be portrayed on the exterior wall of the French Embassy. LAURENT CHÉHÉRE

Adrien Golinelli, 27, made a trip to North Korea in 2012 to document the closed totalitarian society.

His work will be exhibited indoors at the Royal University of Phnom Penh. ADRIEN GOLINELLI
