3.24 – Mathieu Asselin
In this episode, we are joined by photographer Mathieu Asselin, whose book dummy for Monsanto: A Photographic Investigation recently won the Dummy Award Kassel 2016. We discussed the next steps for the book, his travels to Vietnam to finish the book, working with brilliant designer Ricardo Baez; the importance of collaboration in making photobooks, as well as two of his favorite photobooks.
This is Mathieu’s second time on the show. Back in episode 2.3 we discussed the origins of his Monsanto project as well as some of the plans he had to complete it. It’s been great watching this project gain the recent recognition is rightly deserves. It’s a project that has taken years Mathieu years to complete and pushed his work in a new direction. It’s a good example of the tenacity and dedication it takes to bring a complicated project to life as a photobook.
