James Bond Islands


The first time I learned about Vietnam's Halong Bay was in
a Gallery in Chelsea showing Andreas Gursky's Tryptichon:
"James Bond Islands". I was so struck I had to see them by myself.
On location I found out, the locals get mad if you would call their
national treasure not by its real name. And you don't get
Gursky's overwhelming perspective without a helicopter.
