Richard Mosse's thermal imaging exhibit at Barbican explores refugee crisis via military surveillance technology.

From February 15 to April 23, Richard Mosse's exhibition at the Barbican Centre in London showcases thermal imaging pieces that capture the realities of refugee camps and areas affected by conflict. Utilizing military-grade surveillance technology, the Irish artist produces haunting images. "Grid (Moria)" (2017) offers a view of the Moria refugee camp in Greece from several kilometers away across 16 screens. The work "Skaramaghas" (2016) depicts the Greek camp as a triptych featuring ethereal figures. Additionally, the three-channel video "Incoming" (2014–17) portrays scenes from the Syrian war. Mosse's earlier piece, "The Enclave" (2013), focused on the civil war in Congo. This exhibition prompts reflection on representation, distance, and the dehumanization of refugees.
