Book Synopsis

Richard Mosse's photography captures the beauty and the horror in war and destruction. Born in Ireland and now based in New York, he has worked in many different countries, and has spent years in the Amazon, revealing the unfolding tragedy there.

Featuring a selection of images from his Tristes Tropiques and Broken Spectre series, this book shows what happens when what Mosse calls two 'counter-worlds' are brought into collision in his work. Both heartbreaking and startlingly beautiful, Mosse's images once seen cannot be forgotten.


The Tate Photography Series is a celebration of photography by artists in the Tate collection, presenting some of the most significant photographers in the world today. Each book focuses on an individual photographer and includes a specially selected sequence of images and an introduction by a Tate curator, alongside a conversation about each photographer's practice.

The unifying theme for Series Two is Ecology and Environment, featuring photographers who examine aspects of our relationship with the natural world, environment and changing climate.
