BINH DANH memorializes the victims of genocide under the Khmer Rouge regime in Cam- bodia through his project The Iridescence of Life. The work draws upon a collection of portraits held at the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum in Phnom Penh. In a unique process developed by the artist, these haunting photographic images are actually imprinted within the chlorophyll of the leaves using the natural action of photosynthesis. The delicate portraits coupled with but- terfly specimens echo the fragility of life and offer something beautiful in the wake of horrific atrocities.
