Vandy Rattana (born 1980 in Phnom Penh, Cambodia) lives and works between Phnom Penh, Paris and Taipei. His photographic career began as the expression of a concern for the lack of any physical documentation of the history, characteristics and monuments unique to his culture.

His first series of works have in common their interest in the day-to-day life of the average Cambodian (from peaceful family and office life, to scenes of urban evacuation either because of fires or expulsions), whereas his more recent video work bears witness to a gradual movement towards a more philosophical content. His militant viewpoint is henceforth engaged in reconstituting narratives that are a poignant part of little known and non-official tales.
