Color of War - Richard Mosse

In this series of striking photographs, the extraordinarily talented Richard Mosse uses infrared film to capture the "Hobbesian state of war in Congo." For him, Congo is "the most beautiful place I have been in my life - and I've traveled a lot."

The bitter contrast between war and the breathtaking natural beauty that often forms its backdrop is one that those of us involved in international criminal law are probably all too familiar with.  Mosse manages to convey this juxtaposition - beauty and war - without a word.
