Sacred Space at Angkor Wat
Numerous artists of different cultures took part of documenting one of the true wonders of the world, Angkor Wat. Overall, fifty-eight images in Sacred Space capture the grand scope of the artistic and architectural power of Angkor. Two documentations occurred at Angkor Wat one in the nineteenth century and another in the twentieth. The French first captured the beauty and the state of preservation, while the Americans soon came and tried to understand the meaning of the sacred site. ...
Angkor Wat is one of the greatest world wonders and perhaps the largest measuring in at 2. ... The buildings at Angkor Wat consist of a grey sandstone, are covered inside and out with relief sculptures of extraordinary detail and excellence of artistry. ... Angkor had a population of one million residents and was the spiritual center for the Khmer people until it was abandoned in the 15th century. Today the Angkor Wat complex is hidden beneath a dense rainforest, making it difficult for researchers on the ground to study the ancient city.
Researchers are lucky to have documented the sacred monument with the simple technology of the camera; any other medium would have taken twice as long.
