One thing you feel when visiting Laos is that it’s a very mystical country, full of folklore. People really do feel good and bad spirits exist around them. As the lives of those being relocated were changing, the elderly, more traditionalist members of the family were clinging to their beliefs, thinking something bad was at work. It was about putting all that together and making something personal, which had the weight of the country and its history – the legacy of war and the relocation of traditional people for industry.
