RICHARD MOSSE
The Enclave
5 February - 25 May 2015
Horrifying, highly moving, and disturbingly beautiful. Irish artist Richard Mosse utilizes an outdated military surveillance film to envision the civil war in eastern DR Congo anew. In this intersection between art and documentary he creates an appalling testimony of a forgotten and complex conflict.
How do you communicate a war that has no center, a war where violence has become a permanent state stoked by fear and rumor, tribal conflict, superstition and corruption, a war that cannot be reduced to a clear-cut story?
Richard Mosse’s video installation The Enclave (2013) approaches the divided warzone of DR Congo by revealing glimpses of the logic of war, an overwhelming, confusing, nightmarish state, where moments of quiet beauty are punctured by violent eruptions and fear is constantly lurking just beneath the surface.
