Tim Page’s Nam: Images from the iconic and flamboyant Vietnam War photographer

June 1, 2023 - June 30, 2023

WHAT
The exhibition features photographs from the iconic war photographer (1944 – 2022), who left England at age 17 to travel across Europe, the Middle East, India, and Nepal, eventually moving to Saigon where he covered the Vietnam war. His images are the visual inspiration for many films about this controversial war. In the following decades, he regularly returned to Vietnam and Cambodia to run photographic workshops and document the innocent victims maimed by mines or the devastating effects of Agent Orange. The exhibition is located in the Main Bar of the club and is open to club members and their guests.

WHY
While covering the war, Page was wounded four times, one of which occurred when he jumped out of a helicopter to help wounded passengers. As a consequence, the person in front of him stepped on a landmine. Page needed extensive neurosurgery, which took him a decade to recover from. He then founded the Indochina Media Memorial Foundation to honour those in the media who were killed or went missing in conflict. He is the subject of multiple documentaries and two films, and his portfolio includes more than a dozen books and tens of thousands of photographs. Audiences are sure to be affected by the raw, historical works of one of the ‘100 Most Influential Photographers Of All Time’.
