T OGETHER THEY rise from the water, three dark circles suspended on ropes. A spray of leaves is snagged in one, as if it were wearing a headdress. These ominous forms are pulleys, tethered to a mineral dredge used to extract gold from the riverbed of the Amazon. The destructive practice is one of many that Richard Mosse, an Irish photographer, documents in “Broken Spectre”, an extraordinary portrait of environmental crime in the Amazon, 60% of which lies in Brazil. Created over five years with Trevor Tweeten, a cinematographer, and Ben Frost, a composer, the video artwork is showing at the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne and at 180 Studios, a gallery in London.
他们从水中升起，三个黑眼圈悬挂在绳索上。一片叶子被抓住了，好像它戴着头饰。这些不祥的形式是皮带轮，被束缚在用于从亚马逊河床中提取金的矿物挖泥机。破坏性的做法是爱尔兰摄影师理查德·莫斯（Richard Mosse）用“破碎幽灵”（Broken Spectre）的文档理查德·莫斯（Richard Mosse）的一种，这是亚马逊环境犯罪的非凡肖像，其中60％位于巴西。摄影师Trevor Tweeten和作曲家本·弗罗斯特（Ben Frost）创作了五年，该视频艺术品正在墨尔本的维多利亚州国家美术馆和伦敦画廊的180 Studios展出。
