MONSANTO: A PHOTOGRAPHIC INVESTIGATION, 2016<\/strong>
\nFRANCE \/ VENEZUELA, b. 1973<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mathieu Asselin\u2019s meticulous investigation into the long history of the global biotechnology corporation Monsanto bring together hundreds of documents - press excerpts, judgments, archives, films, and testimonies - focusing on facts or dates that dramatically illustrate the ravages of all kinds which mark the company\u2019s long history of sprawling development. Over a five-year period, Asselin conducted rigorous research and travelled through the US and Vietnam to find the people and places affected by Monsanto\u2019s practices.<\/p>\n

Thus, the drama of the small town of Aniston (Alabama, 1970), that became a ghost city as a result of releases into the air and water of the infamous and poisonous chlorinated PCB derivatives produced by the local factory. Thus, the terrifying Agent Orange - another Monsanto product - an acid-based herbicide and defoliant which the US military will detonate on the plains of Vietnam from 1968 to 1971, permanently contaminating up to ten percent of its territory and causing thousands of victims. The project also methodically illuminates another facet of Monsanto\u2019s processes to establish its global grip: propaganda and communication. Whether they are advertisements describing an ideal world where chemistry and its derivatives contribute to universal well-being, or subjugating contracts signed by thousands of farmers condemning them to an unfair economic model and ecological nuisance, each document published by Monsanto can be analyzed as an exercise in disinformation. Monsanto: A Photographic Investigation is intended to pay tribute to the hundreds of associations, to the thousands of famous or anonymous individuals, \u201cto the NGO\u2019s who oppose with tenacity and at their own risk the perils of the Monsanto lobby\u201d.
