Inspired by the scientific uses of infrared film through history, the work pushes the purposes and properties of the rarest film on the planet to their limit. It comprises ten chapters.

In The Red Forest, of 2012, the film is used to record the condition of the most radioactive forest in the world, and in turn re-imagines Ukraine in a deep Soviet burgundy, something that has become eerily prophetic since. In The Vein, of 2014, forgotten medical techniques are used to reveal the superficial veins beneath the skin. In After the Flood, After the Red River Valley, of 2012, water is followed where it does not belong.

“What is perhaps most striking is how diverse each chapter is, not just in subject but in aesthetic: it is easy to mistake it for an anthology featuring several makers, when it is in fact one artist's triumphant homage to colour infrared.”
