Follows bestselling The Enclave (Aperture, 2013) "Coinciding with his latest video work, Incoming by Irish artist Richard Mosse deals with the major humanitarian and political crisis of our time: migration. The book recreates the immersive nature of the film - a searing and haunting artwork projected across three 8 metre-wide screens, and accompanied by a loud dissonant soundtrack. Over 600 pages, still images from the entire sequence moves from footage of a live battle inside Syria, where a US aircraft strafes Daesh positions on the ground, to a scene showing pathologists extracting DNA from the bones of unidentifi ed corpses of refugees drowned off the Aegean island of Leros, the book and its counterpart opens a testimonial space of historical document - bearing witness to signifi cant chapters in recent events - mediated through an advanced weapons-grade camera technology. Narratives of the journeys made by refugees and migrants across the Middle East, North Africa, and Europe, are captured using an extremely powerful thermal camera not generally available to the public. This super-telephoto military camera can perceive the human body beyond 50km day or night, reading the biological trace of human life. The camera translates the world into a heat signature of apparent temperature difference, producing a dazzling monochrome halo-image, which is presented throughout the book with metallic tritone printing in fullbleed layouts. Literally and metaphorically, these halo-images allude to hypothermia, climate change, weapons targeting, border surveillance, xenophobia, and the `bare life` of stateless people. Incoming was made in collaboration with cinematographer Trevor Tweeten and composer Ben Frost. It was co-commissioned by Barbican Gallery and National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne. The book is published alongside an installation of Mosse`s three-screen video work in the Curve Gallery of the Barbican Art Gallery."
