Tuol Sleng is known as Security Office 21 or S-21 during the Khmer Rouge period between 17 april 1975 and 7 january 1979. Previously it hosted the Tuol Svay Prey Highschool. Nowadays it is a genocide museum in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.

S-21 was designed for detention, interrogation, inhuman torture and killing after confession from the detainees. Imprisonment lasted 2-4 months, political prisoners were held between 6 to 7 months. About 17 000 people were killed, 4 were found alive when the Vietnamese army "liberated" the country from the Khmer Rouge.

Between 1975 and 1979 about 2,1 million Cambodians died (out of the 8 million inhabitants, makes it 1 in 4) under the malnutrition and attrocities carried out under the Khmer Rouge.

Little fact: Tuol Sleng means "Hill of the poisoned trees".

This shot is impacting... I was there once too. I remember standing there feeling intensely, thinking a million things and having no words and I feel the same thing right now. Painfully excellent.

Oui, je l'ai lu dans le commentaire qui accompagne ta photo. Comme quoi l'ambiance qui se dégage d'un cliché peut-être très différente de l'ambiance qui se dégage du modèle lui-même.

Oui... on pourrait aussi bien recreer cette chambre et attacher une modele sur ce lit... Ca donnerait de nouveau une autre ambiance :)
