I just received this book. I was volunteering in Moria at the time this photo was taken (march 2016) so i may very well be in that photo. This is a very meaningful project to me.

Genius

Very moving...thank you for making this film.

I really need to get the book and also get a chance to see the exhibit. This is the most important piece of the niche of thermal photography. While this is cooled, MWIR - I still am inspired by it.

I went to see this in Kilkenny, and felt that there was an irresponsibility to the piece. In climate education nowadays they understand that one can't simply parse out information about runaway climate change and collapse without showing positive examples of alternatives that people can get involved with. I felt this film was almost exploitative, and for what? There were no examples of alternatives offered with this exhibition - just imagery of suffering.

I recommend the Bloomberg documentary where they interview him and talk about his work, your criticism does come up and he explains himself far better than I can in a KZread comment

White guy talking about the poors, all with a great ribbon. Change my mind.

Both you and @reffwe above seem to miss the fact that this is an ART project-- and so part of what it is answering is an impossible question: what does art "do" about this crisis? Mosse is meditating on the question of representation. He has chosen a way to document refugees that does not personalize them or fetishize their suffering-- instead it is the military gaze that many in the Global North-- including quite a few people of color-- use to see the migrants at their borders. He is thinking about xenophobia and its dehumanization of migrants. So in this way his audience is very much his fellow "whites"-- and anyone living comfortably in a wealthy nation right now, scared of migrants and the future. He's saying: we need to be ethical. What are you saying? Don't talk about this nightmare if you're white? Where does that get us?

@@SuperRobertoClemente It is bourgeois art, which extracts their dignity and image from poor people, turns them into monsters, and sells them in markets of the most indecent capitalism. No matter how much profound and critical text accompanies the photos, he sells them for thousands of dollars in galleries, it does not serve at all to improve the lives of these poor people, on the contrary, it takes away their dignity and revictimizes them.
