proyecto en la caja blanca
PALMA DE MALLORCA, Spain La Caja Blanca is presenting a solo exhibition by Irish photographer and video artist Richard Mosse through Nov.25. In a time when war-torn cities and landscapes devastated by nature fill the newspapers and television programs we consume, this young artist questions the validity of the images distributed by the media industry as a means of communicating the reality of human suffering. Mosse's photographs show devastated landscapes and schoolrooms crumbling onto the classroom desks. What strikes the viewer is not the human suffering that took place, but an overwhelming sense of stillness, serenity and stunning beauty. The videos go even further, with Yani Intifada (2005) and Jew on a Ball (2006) depicting interviews with the inhabitants of these locations. Mosse's photographs and video pieces have been taken in locations such as Bosnia, Ramallah, Beirut, Kosovo, Iran and Pakistan's Northwest Frontier Province.
