Photographer Richard Mosse is known for his highly aestheticised views of sites associated with violence and fear. For his 'Infra' project, Mosse uses obsolete military surveillance technology, a type of infrared colour film called Kodak Aerochrome, to investigate the ongoing conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Originally created to detect targets for aerial bombing, Kodak Aerochrome film registered a spectrum of light beyond what the human eye can see, rendering foliage in vivid hues of lavender, crimson and hot pink.
