Richard Mosse - The Enclave - Infrared Photography











screenshots from Richard Mosse: The Impossible Image, 
the making of 'The Enclave' film from 2013 currently being shown at the Biennial exhibition in Venice.
I was already a fan of Richard Mosse's work but his use of 16mm Kodak Aerochrome Infrared film has such a raw quality to it. 
With this based around the Congo and its ongoing violence, the contrast of the pink from the plant's chlorophyll and society's connotations of that colour are a fascinating combination. 
See the video with Mosse talking about the making of the film below.
