Ti Tit exhibits for the first time and his work is hard to describe. He photographs his environment, starting with himself, his family, and his trips, and he has a lot of fun doing it. He has also a lot of fun on his blog, where he writes in Khmer, English, and French depending on his mood (www.seyhaktit.wordpress.com). He plays, provokes, mixes truth and fiction, and tells stories that turn out to be jokes. This moralizing blogger paints slogans on his body or his hand, stages his own mock suicide, and really stands out in Cambodian society, which generally takes itself more seriously – at least in appearance. Is he a photographer? It’s not clear whether he is indeed a photographer, but this is not a question that preoccupies him. He needs images, and he knows how to play with them, and handle and manipulate us with a healthy impertinence. Invigorating!
