Richard Mosse - Come Out (1966) II, 2011. Artwork

Richard Mosse - Ireland (1980) Photographer and filmmaker Richard Mosse makes lush, cinematic images that capture human destruction in natural environments. His practice straddles photojournalism and fine art, and he is best known for “Infra,” a series of luridly colored, large-scale photographs of the fighters, inhabitants, and landscapes of the Congo. By shooting with Kodak Aerochrome—a discontinued infrared surveillance film that transforms greens into acid pinks and reds—Mosse has offered a searing, psychedelic vision of the warscape and its suffering inhabitants. In 2014, the series earned Mosse the prestigious Deutsche Börse Prize. The artist received his MFA in photography from Yale in 2008 and has since exhibited at The Bass, Foam Fotografiemuseum, and Tate Modern, among other institutions. In 2013, Mosse represented Ireland at the Venice Biennale. In 2017, he was the recipient of the Prix Pictet award for his heat-map photographs of a Greek refugee camp, which he captured using a military-grade surveillance camera.
