In Novembers issue of Dazed and Confused I saw this amazing visual work by Richard Mosse shows where the Congo has compelled and defied the Western imagination. Richard Mosse brings to this subject the use of a discontinued military surveillance technology, a type of color infrared film called Kodak Aerochrome. Originally developed for camouflage detection, this aerial reconnaissance film registers an invisible spectrum of infrared light, rendering the green landscape in vivid hues of lavender, crimson, and hot pink.
I loved the photographs so much I bought the book, more pictures will probably be up soon…
