EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a powerful moment in history, showcasing the clash between environmental activism and nuclear testing. Taken on 30 August 1995 at the edge of the exclusion zone surrounding the French nuclear testing site, Mururoa Atoll, it features four distinct ships that symbolize different aspects of this ongoing battle. In the foreground stands the imposing French frigate "Vandemaire" casting its shadow over two Greenpeace vessels - "Rainbow Warrior" and "Greenpeace". These ships represent the unwavering determination of environmental pressure group Greenpeace to protest against France's extensive nuclear weapons tests conducted in French Polynesia for three decades. The presence of these brave activists serves as a reminder that nature should not be sacrificed for destructive scientific experiments. Adding an intriguing element to this composition is the Cook Island schooner "Te Ka Toa" positioned second from right. Its inclusion highlights international solidarity with Greenpeace's cause, as nations from around the world joined forces to oppose France's controversial actions. The significance of this image is further intensified by recalling that it was taken just ten years after tragedy struck when French secret service agents bombed and sank Greenpeace's original flagship vessel, also named "Rainbow Warrior". This act only fueled their determination to continue fighting against nuclear testing and protecting our planet. Photographer Marcel Mochet skillfully captured this historic moment through his lens, immortalizing a visual representation of humanity's struggle for peace, preservation, and responsible use of energy resources.
