INTRODUCTION
Yoko Toda's
photographs
Here you can find information on the
photographs of Yoko Toda taken
in Cambodia during 1965 &
'66. They describe a country in
peacetime,
unaware of the tragedy
that would shortly befall it during the
US/Vietnam War and the genocide that followed at the
hands of the Khmer Rouge.
The title of the work, “Silence
Remained,” was suggested by Marilyn Sontag.
It implies that after the destruction all that remained was
silence.
