On June 8, 1972 a South Vietnamese aircraft accidentally dropped its napalm payload on the village of Trang Bang. With her clothes on fire, 9 year old Phan Thi Kim Phuc ran out of the village with her family to be airlifted to hospital. This scene is depicted in the famous photograph which has raised worldwide awareness of the horrors of war.
Christian Eisenberger, an Austrian artist who makes sculptures and once off installations from cardboard and other found materials, brings his startling life size reproduction of this iconic photograph to public spaces around Cork City.
