Khvay Samnang
Newspaper Man / Human Nature
- Installation
Khvay Samnang is an internationally renowned video and performance artist who will open an exhibition of selected works at the beginning of the thematic weekend. His installations “Human Nature” and “Newspaper Man” can be seen on the 2nd floor of HAU2 and as large-format projections in the windows of the HAU2 offices from January 16 to 19. Using subtle humour and containing messages that can’t be deciphered at first glance, Khvay Samnang is one of a generation of young Cambodian artists who are attempting to reinterpret their own history, contentious current events, and traditional cultural prac- tices. Khvay Samnang works from the unabashed perspective of a participant, searching through everyday life for unresolved problems that he thinks require an intervention, even if it is only a symbolic one.

Co-production: HAU Hebbel am Ufer, Phare Ponleu Selpak Association, BIT Teatergarasjen, Bergen and House on Fire with the support of the Cultural programme of the European Union.

Latest information for arrival:
There is currently a construction site on Hallesches Ufer between Wilhelmstraße and Möckernbrücke underground station. There is a divided replacement route for pedestrians (right) and cyclists (left), which are separated by a yellow ground line. The carriageway is narrowed to one lane.
Travelling to HAU2 via U Hallesches Tor:
If you are coming from Hallesches Tor underground station, you will have to use an alternative footpath from Wilhelmstraße / Hallesches Ufer junction, which is separated from the carriageway by a construction fence – the actual footpath is currently closed. Please note: the alternative route is also used by cyclists. Pedestrians should keep to the right. We therefore currently recommend that visually impaired or blind visitors come to the HAU with an accompanying person.
Arrival HAU2 via U Möckernbrücke:
When you leave Möckernbrücke underground station, please stay on the footpath on the canal side until you reach Hallesches Ufer / Großbeerenstraße junction – the opposite side is currently closed due to construction work.
