RICHARD MOSSE ‘INFRA’ SERIES

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…

GDA Mapping Project

So this is my final outcome for the GDA Mapping project where we basically wrote our own brief and had to come up with a question. So mine was

‘How important is imagery in newspapers, magazines and books?’

And it looks like this

It’s a bit blurry as I took a screen caption of the image and its 2A0 in size, which is huge and I zoomed right out. Its carefully researched, quite deep and would take ages to explain as there are so many different reasons why imagery is such a huge part of our lives. As printed, you can also actually see what’s in the images which were researched, and as it’s about imagery, there isn’t much text. I have to explain it all, which I enjoy, but I won’t type it out, sorry guys!
