UNSW Galleries presents the Australian premiere of The Enclave by New York-based Irish artist Richard Mosse.

This major video installation is the culmination of Mosse’s work in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, and represented Ireland at the 2013 Venice Biennale to critical acclaim. Comprised of six monumental double-sided screens installed in a large darkened chamber, The Enclave offers visitors a physically immersive, disorientating and confronting experience.

Using an extinct type of infrared film once employed by the military, Mosse documented rebel enclaves and sites of human rights. The result is a highly aesthetic installation that engages with the unseen, hidden and intangible aspects of the situation in eastern Congo, a tragically overlooked conflict in which 5.4 million people have died of war related causes since 1998.
