This illustrated work presents a photographic exploration of the temple complex of Angkor in Cambodia through a large selection of colour images accompanied by contextual material. The volume combines visual documentation with historical and cultural background, focusing on architectural details, religious imagery, sculptural elements, landscapes and the continuing human presence surrounding the monuments. The book situates the temples within the broader cultural history of Southeast Asia and approaches the site as both an artistic and historical subject through documentary photography.
