  • Resumen
    • Ings talks about Irish photographer Richard Mosse's novel way to inspire compassion for refugees. Mosse presents them as drones might see them--as detailed heat maps, often shorn of expression, skin tone, and even clues to age and sex. Mosse's subjects, captured in the Middle East, North Africa and Europe, don't look back at people: the infrared camera renders their eyes as uniform black spaces. The images show his subjects as seen, mostly at night, by a super-telephoto device designed for border and battlefield surveillance. Able to zoom in from 6 kilometers away, the camera anonymizes them, making them strangely faceless even while their sweat, breath and sometimes blood circulation patterns are visible.
