There is power in how we feed ourselves, with food being the cornerstone of cultures, ideologies, and principles. Eating or not eating can be an act of protest, feeding or not feeding — an act of control; food brings people together and pushes them apart. Through the presentation of current work and commissions, this year PhotoIreland Festival brings to audiences selected artists exploring this contentious, yet every day, topic.
With topics ranging from sustainability to colonisation, from hunger to overconsumption, trauma to technology, ethics to ideologies, and even surveillance capitalism, this exhibition brings together contemporary lens-based works, serving a cornucopia of engaging and relevant material.

1pm (Irish time) Wed 7 July
via Zoom
A conversation between artist Dániel Szalai and Agtech expert David Hunt, moderated by PhotoIreland Festival. We will talk about the complexities of the human-animal relationship, the role of technology within this relationship and our food systems. The conversation will be held in the context of Dániel’s project ‘Unleash Your Herd’s Potential’, which is exhibited as part of the group show Bite the Hand That Feeds You, and we will find out more about the photogrammetry technology behind it, while reflecting on surveillance and the future of agriculture.

At The Library Project, Dublin
Opening Hours Mon-Fri 11am-6pm | Sat-Sun 12-6pm
Presented with the kind support of Alliance Française Dublin.
The photographer Mathieu Asselin explores the controversial and infamous agricultural company, Monsanto, through investigative photography in this acclaimed project. Looking at the company’s past and present, this investigation aims to picture what Monsanto’s® near future will look like. The exhibition for the festival focuses on the process of the photobook. Beyond the distinguished editorial object, this publication 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. A rare opportunity to see the artist's notes and materials, including the 3 dummy photobooks that preceded the final publication.
