Angkor #26, Ta Prohm, 1993. Kenro Izu (Japanese, 1949-). Platinum-palladium print ; image: 33 x 48.4 cm (13 x 19 1/16 in.); paper: 42 x 55.2 cm (16 9/16 x 21 3/4 in.). The Cleveland Museum of Art, Gift of Tom E. Hinson and Diana S. Tittle 2017.229 Ta Prohm is one of the temples that comprise Angkor Wat, a massive religious monument in Cambodia begun in the 1100s and largely abandoned during the 1700s. While some of Angkor has been extensively restored, Ta Prohm has not. Izu uses a historic technique, platinum/palladium, to suggest Western explorer’s discovery of the site and a super large-format camera to immerse the viewer in the image.
