Võ An Khánh


In Mobile Military Medical Clinic 9/1970 , a stretcher carrying an injured solider is being carried through swamp-land towards a makeshift operation table.


During the Vietnam War, Võ An Khánh traveled with the guerrilla unit of the Northen Vietnamese Army (Viet Cong) in Sourthern Vietnam. As secretary for the Printing Office of the ‘Van Cong’ (Entertainement team), he wrote texts for propaganda and took photographs of the frontline, subsequently mounting mobile exhibitions in-situ. At times, Võ An Khánh would climb trees to get a better angle on the action, mindful of the film that was irreplaceable and extremely limited. Many perceive these artist’s photographs as staged, however they are unique field shots that capture the resilience of the Vietnamese people.
