Vo An Khanh’s black and white photographs of the Vietnam War are rare testaments of human resilience. His carefully framed images carry a kind of ethereal beauty in their composition, as if a pause button has been pressed on a well lit stage. It is this meticulous capture, this ability to freeze a moment in time that indicates an intuitive response to context – for this particular environment in Vietnam was one of the harshest and most grueling, often calling for the shooting of a lens in tandem to the shooting of a gun.
