"One Traveller After Another" is a project built from the archives of the Swiss geographer Edgar Aubert de la Rüe(1901–1991), preserved at the Musée d'Ethnographie de Genève. In 1953, De la Rüe traveled to the Caatinga region of Brazil as part of a geological mission for UNESCO and published a book recounting his journey.

The exhibition in Phnom Penh will bring together images from Edgar Aubert de la Rüe's photographic collection, as well as photographs taken today by the artist following part of the itinerary described by De la Rüe.

On this occasion, Mabe Bethônico will lead a workshop with young Cambodian photographers on the issue of the use of archives in contemporary creation. She will also give a lecture-performance for the general public.
