enclave

just returned from across the ditch and the sydney biennale.

truth be told the absolute highlight was richard mosse's 'the enclave'

at the galleries UNSW in paddington.

this immersive and humbling film installation on six screens

was shot on infrared film in the eastern democratic republic of congo.

terrifying, terrible, tremulous and awe-inspiring.
