Richard Mosse’s Infra offers a radical way of looking at a war-torn area. During a two-year span Mosse documented the ongoing conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo using a discontinued military infrared surveillance film called Kodak Aerochrome. The film registers an invisible spectrum of infrared light, turning the green landscape and military attire into beautiful shades of pinks.
It’s stunning to see how the change of one colour can take all the seriousness away and makes war scenes look ironic and dull (well even duller).
