The Argonauts project, undertaken on the vessel L'Atalante, allows scientists to explore the Mediterranean's serious plastic pollution problem, with an alarming 229,000 tonnes of plastic waste entering the sea annually. Besides monitoring and documenting this issue, the expedition aims to inspire action and develop potential solutions. The ship functions as a community space with amenities like a gym and restaurant. Photographers like Juliette Pavy break from traditional photojournalism to explore innovative storytelling techniques, combining fiction and reality to shed light on urgent environmental issues.
The Argonauts project seeks not only to document the Mediterranean's severe plastic pollution but also to inspire meaningful action and solutions for recovery.
Under The Argonauts,' I allowed more creative freedom, stepping aside from traditional photojournalism to find new storytelling methods, merging reality with fiction.
