“We will greet each other, and we will bid farewell. There will be singing, and there will be pretending. Then there will be light, and a time for darkness. We will light candles. We will eat and drink. And we will raise a toast together to our long lives. And then it will end. Welcome.”

Three video works comprise the ‘MONOLOGUE Trilogy.’ MONOLOGUE, the first in the trilogy, is a moving exploration of Cambodia’s violent past and reflects on the nature of trauma. Vandy Rattana’s monologue is to the sister he has never met, and reveals his struggle coming to terms with the violence and loss experienced by his family and country. …far away, over there, the ocean is the last film of the trilogy to be produced (but arranged as the second to be viewed). It journeys with the character of a young painter who believes landscapes are but projected illusions of beauty and sensations produced by fragments of experiences in life. Funeral, the series’ third work, explores notions of history – both disclosed and occluded – as well as memory, amnesia and trauma. It dwells on Cambodia’s landscape – a terrain bearing the weight of lives lived, and buried, within its soil.

In life, we are afraid of death, and want to keep hold of the most important person or the best times; however, we can’t control this, and need to face loss bravely. The story emphasises the cycle of life, relationships, and connections between generations according to the Chinese concept of death. The film is about growing, and finding the meaning of death.
