carlier | gebauer is pleased to announce a solo exhibition of new works by Richard Mosse. 

The Irish conceptual photographer rose to prominence with his prize-winning series The Enclave, which offered a radical rethinking of how to represent a war as complex and intractable as the ongoing conflict in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. Mosse’s latest body of work continues his investment in questions of globalization, immigration, and human displacement — as well as his reflexive use of military technology to question the ways in which photography is constructed.  

The Castle comprises a selection of photographs from Mosse’s new series Heat Maps that depict temporary encampments and border crossings along migration routes to Europe from the Middle East and Africa. Each “Heat Map” is constructed from hundreds of frames captured using a super-telephoto lens that is part of a military-grade thermographic camera.
