16mm infrared film was used to capture these magnificent images. What would normally be green, infrared film shot in daylight creates a magenta hue. I was drawn to The Enclave with it's vibrant colours, and Mosse distorting the perception of what colour landscape photographs should be. Looking at the images, fantasy-like wonder and awe are the thoughts that come to mind. The contradiction of subject and landscape is anything but beautiful.
"The Enclave immerses the viewer in a challenging and sinister world, exploring aesthetics in a situation of profound human suffering. At the heart of the project, as Mosse states, is an attempt to bring “two counter-worlds into collision: art’s potential to represent narratives so painful that they exist beyond language, and photography’s capacity to document specific tragedies and communicate them to the world."
