Richard Mosse - The Enclave (still) | "Commissioned for the Irish representation at the 55th Venice Biennale in 2013 and recently acquired by the National Gallery of Victoria, The Enclave is an immersive, six-screen video art installation by Irish contemporary artist Richard Mosse. Partly inspired by Joseph Conrad’s modernist literary masterpiece Heart of Darkness, the visceral and moving work was filmed in the Democratic Republic of Congo using 16mm colour infra-red film. The resulting imagery in Mosse’s work is hallucinatory and dream-like with the usual greens of jungle and forest replaced by shimmering violet." ~ National Gallery of Victoria #fellaswim #richardmosse #art
