Infra

I first encountered the work of Irish Contemporary Art Photographer Richard Mosse at Dublin Contemporary 2011.

I’m was incredibly taken with Richard Mosse‘s project Infra. He has used a special Kodak Aerochrome Infrared film to create an otherworldy pink effect to offset the very intense political temperature of the Congo. Infra isn't the kind of journalistic venture that you'd expect to see coming out of the eastern Congo. It feels to me like an incredible way to envision and encapsulate this experience, and is beyond groundbreaking. Not to mention simply beautiful.

Men of Good Fortune

Mosse aims “to shock the viewer with this surprising bubblegum palette, and provoke questions about how we tend to see, and don’t see, this conflict.”
