This project aims to investigate the untold history of decolonisation in Southeast Asia through amateur soldier photographs taken on the front line of conflicts. Such photographs constitute a vast yet neglected archive that promises unique insights into encounters between combatants on all sides, and with civilians whose experiences have rarely been accessible, particularly women, children and unfree workers. The expected outcomes of this project are to produce new understandings of violence in decolonisation and the long-term legacies of colonialism in Southeast Asia. This project also intends to provide a critical historical framework for understanding the meaning and impact of photographs taken in war.

该项目旨在通过业余士兵在冲突前线拍摄的照片来调查东南亚非殖民化的不为人知的历史。这些照片构成了一个巨大但被忽视的档案，它提供了对各方战斗人员之间以及与鲜有经历的平民，特别是妇女、儿童和不自由工人之间的接触的独特见解。该项目的预期成果是对非殖民化中的暴力和东南亚殖民主义的长期遗产产生新的理解。该项目还旨在提供一个重要的历史框架，以理解战争中拍摄的照片的意义和影响。
