http://vimeo.com/7195148 I found this video on Mosse's website.
The video itself is about 4 minutes long. Theatre of War was shot from one of Saddam Hussein's hilltop palaces situated in the mountains overlooking the River Tigris in central Iraq. It is a slow, virtually static video piece redolent of classical history painting. Audio was recorded at the official US military hand-over ceremony at the nearby city of Saniya. A mullah's prayer for unity among Arabs is spoken, after which the pan-Arab national anthem, Mawtini (My Homeland) is played, emphasizing Arab national solidarity and a pan-Arab territory. March 2009. Cinematography by Trevor Tweeten / Digital Color by Jerome Thelia
Richard is interested on how not just photography fails us but our site ourselves. He became interested in this recent technology which was got rid of by Kodak. This technique was know as airacrome and was developed in the 1940's as a sort of camoflag detection technology. Showing dead folage highlighted in these blue colours and the healthier land showing as pink and reds in his landscape photography which couldn't be seen to eye. He found this inferred film as a great metaphor for thinking or representing of Congo's conflict. The bubble gum pink attracts you and makes you look longer at the photograph.
