Photographer Richard Mosse’s latest film entitled ‘The Enclave’ highlights the conflict in the Eastern part of the Democratic Republic of Congo with stunning infrared technology.
Using an extinct type of infrared film that was used by the military in the 1940s, footages of rebel enclaves and sites of human rights violations are awash in a sea of saturated pinks and reds.
The surreal colors and effects represent both the beauty of the landscape and the violence of war, as Mosse attempts “to overturn traditional realism, and see beneath the surface.”
