Since the dawn of time, explaining the origin of life from nothingness has generated much passion and polemic.Over a century ago, Stéphane Leduc,a French professor of medicine,attempted to duplicate this phenomenon. His work led to the invention of synthetic biology which created a great stir among the scientific community at the time.However, was he really misguided? What can be said is that the work carried out by this ingenious experimenter opened the way for as much scholarly research as violent debate.At the outer edges of science, on the borders of metaphysics, two chemists and a photographer have copied this scientist’s work. They have reinterpreted the illegible scribbles of the mad scholar in the light of the fabulous phenomenon of osmosis. An insight into their secret laboratory over a three-day period.

It took a combination of boats and cars and two full days travel to reach what is the most remote corner of Cambodia.
Ratanakiri, which name means “Gemstone Mountain”, has in fact only recently returned on the map of the country. The natural beauty and the many hidden and not hidden resources of the region are now giving reasons to many Cambodian migrants and to some foreign enterprises to settle in what is also the ancestral land of the several minority groups living in Cambodia. Known as “Khmer Loeu” (Highlanders) the minority people of the country have been left undisturbed for almost half a century.

« De la magnificence d’Angkor, l’ancienne capitale de l’Empire khmer, il ne reste pas seulement les plus beaux temples d’Extrême-Orient, vertigineuses cathédrales surgissant de la forêt tropicale. Un art sacré, la danse, a survécu jusqu’à nos jours au travers des invasions et même du génocide Khmer Rouge », déclare avec passion la princesse Buppha Devi, qui était danseuse-étoile dans les années 60.
Sous sa direction, le Ballet Royal a retrouvé la splendeur et la magie d’antan.

Soon after his return from South Africain 1917 Gandhi led his first political struggle in the state of Bihar, in support of peasant small holders against British indigo planters. In the course of doing so, he earned the title of Mahatma,The Great Soul.
More than ninety years later, little has changed in this largely rural state situated in northern India, which remains one of the poorest in the country.Poverty, illiteracy and violence: the daily life of the poor and maginalised in India today is a world apart from the ideals that were set by India’s prophet of non-violence, Mahatma Gandhi.
