Monument Books Laos and the German Embassy are glad to give the oppportunity to Matthias Plewa to say bye-bye to Laos with this "farewell" exhibition.
“Popgan mai, Lao!” – meaning so far “See you again, Laos”. The pictures show a portrait of Lao people through foreign eyes.
Some words about the photographer, Mr. Matthias Plewa (1964). He has been living in Laos for more than five years and working as an adviser for the German Development Service (DED) at Haddokkeo Horticulture Research Center nearby the capital Vientiane. Most of the photos were taken in the work context while traveling through all provinces of the country to collect vegetable seeds for a genbank.
