Richard Mosse, winner of the Deutsche Börse Prize in 2014, uses a discontinued military surveillance film stock called Aerochrome Infrared III to capture the people and landscapes of the war-torn Eastern Congo. The film’s reflection of the infrared spectrum renders green tones in lush and startling hues of fuchsia, as in the undulating hills of Remain in Light (2015). The title – taken from an album by Talking Heads – underlines Mosse’s mission to make visible the devastation in the Congo, where 5.4 million have been killed since 1998. While the seductive beauty and drama of Mosse’s colours might seem to aestheticise the conflict, it is precisely through their enthralling and unearthly effect that his photography gains its sublime power. This often-overlooked warzone is brought to astonishing new light, and we as viewers, are captivated, unnerved, unable to look away.
