Bikes of Burden

It is the motorbike that makes Vietnam tick. In Saigon alone, two million ply the streets. People commute by bike, father take their kids to school by bike (you`d be surprised how many at a time!), and products find their way to the consumers by motorbike. The bike as backbone of the economy the bike as carrier of goods and people the bike as beast of burden. A remarkable selection of Hans Kemp`s finest shots – often taken from the back of one of the self-same bikes – quirky, mystifying, eye-opening,frightening and downright unbelievable. Can you really get that many people on a 50cc bike? How can he drive that thing when his load blocks his vision? Why doesn`t the whole thing fall apart under the weight? Dead pigs? Surreal, man.
