IDEAS INTO ACTION
Long-term project first steps
JANUARY 27-28, 2018 | WORKSHOP WITH MATHIEU ASSELIN
Spazio Labo’ proudly presents a two-day workshop with Mathieu Asselin, photographer and author of the book Monsanto®: a Photographic Investigation which inspired Spazio Labo’s exhibition Monsanto®: the Book.
The workshop – what’s it about?
One of the biggest challenges for photographers wanting to start a long term project is: starting the project itself. Sometimes the task of planning can feel like a mountain impossible to climb, so many questions with no clear answers that can keep photographers turning in circles and away from materializing the idea.
This 2 days workshop is specially designed to structure the practical challenges that come with short, medium or long term photographic projects, giving photographers the tools they need to structure and organize a project and, most importantly, to give their idea the start-kick it needs to move forward.
We will discuss together the ideas of each participant and we will deeply analyze each project to find the right questions, the right answers, to learn some “tricks” and pieces of advice on how to best structure one’s work.
Workshop’s themes:
When:
January 27-28, 2018; from 10 am to 6 pm.

About Mathieu Asselin work
For Monsanto: A Photographic Investigation, the photographer Mathieu Asselin was awarded the Dummy Book Award Kassel 2016, a special mention for the LUMA Rencontres Dummy Book Award 2016 at the Rencontres de la Photographie (Arles) and was awarded with the Aperture First Book Award 2017 Paris Photo. Today he is shortlisted for the Deutsche Börse Photography Foundation Prize 2018. Beyond the distinguished editorial object, this recognitions enshrines an exceptional documentary process conducted for five years through Vietnam and the United States, which portrays an overwhelming portrait of the ancient and current practices of this giant chemical industry.
In order to construct his meticulous investigation, Mathieu Asselin exhumed and consulted 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’s long history of sprawling development. The book also methodically illuminates another facet of Monsanto’s processes to establish its global grip: propaganda and communication.
