On September 15th from 6.30 p.m., the Wilhelm Fabry Museum invites visitors to a curator’s tour of the showcase ‘Burnt into Memory – The Story of the Photograph Everyone Knows: The Napalm Girl by Nick Út’.
In the course of this guided tour, curator Michael Ebert will share fascinating details and background information about the exhibition, which will be on display until October 30, 2022.
Ebert has spent years researching the history of Nick Út’s haunting photograph. His comprehensive essay on the subject was featured in the book ‘Images in Conflict’ (Jonas Publishing, 2019). When Nick Út was honoured with the Leica Hall of Fame Award in 2012, Ebert curated the accompanying exhibition. His work is based both on the meticulous processing of historical documents, and the personal statements and recollections of the surviving witnesses.
