Bill Burke (1943) has made and makes many journeys to Cambodia. Mine Fields is a very personal, 'diary-like' account, resembling photographic psychodrama. Many images refer to the still visible consequences of the war which took place over there. Burke does not want to pass judgement over the situation, but wants to point out to us that there is still something going on, despite the fact that this country is no longer interesting enough to the media. He tries to photograph Cambodia, to find out what is going on and records how people live over there and what their worries are: "A photographer is not a soldier nor a refugee, he is a spectator who tries to show a situation and if possible, also show how it feels".
