Cambodian contemporary art duo Ny&Khun has been in residence at Rimbun Dahan for two months in 2023, reflecting upon their future directions, and developing a new contemporary dance work, Pilgrim.
About the Artists
Ny&Khun (Ny Lai and Khun Sreynoch) are a Cambodian contemporary art duo. Our main form of expression is dance/theatre, combined with photography and painting. We have operated as a duo for 3 years, emerging from a group called New Cambodian Artists (NCA) that still functions as our umbrella foundation.
Our work SnowWhite/Revisited was selected for the Singapore M1 Fringe Festival 2021. Because of COVID we could only show them a basic video, yet we had great reviews. The video SnowWhite/Revisited also won 2nd prize of the Expert-Jury of the international theater competition from Milan, Italy in 2021.
Early this year, we were invited to be the main artists at the international Angkor Photo Festival 2023, with our photography work series Speaking in Silence. We opened the festival with a short performance, “How do
you think it feels”.
We won the 1st ZKB Acknowledgment prize at the Zurcher Theater Spectacle Switzerland 2023, with our work Sronoh/SnowWhite. This is what the international jury says about our work.
