The white building washing
Early in 2012, Iwai Masaru stayed in the derelict “White Building” in Phnom Penh, Cambodia while shooting a documentary about cleaning the building together with local residents. Projected here on three large screens, The white building washing
astounds the viewer with its stark realism and ineffable videographic beauty even as it sheds light on various social issues.
