"Workers Leaving The Lumiere Factory in Lyon" (1895) is the title of French short black and white silent documentary film that

was known as the first film ever shown in public. The film consists of single scene in which workers leave the Lumiere Factory.

The workers are mostly female who exit the factory in Lyon, France, as if they had just finished a day's work.

In "Workers Leaving Factories in Phnom Penh" (2015), I filmed the particular scene inspiring from Louise Lumieres's famous

film ever. This video was executed in Phnom Penh where I spent six weeks as an artist in Pisaot Residency program at Sa Sa

Art Projects.
