Coca-Cola
L'ENQUÊTE INTERDITE Une déduction confirmée en mai 2004 à l'occasion d'une exposition d'affiches publicitaires allemandes dans une galerie d'art londonienne(1). Imaginée par Mark Thomas et Tracey Sanders-Wood, la manifestation visait à épingler la politique Sanders-Wood, la manifestation visait à épingler la politique de la Compagnie en la confrontant à d'éventuelles collusions avec le IIIe Reich. La démarche ayant du retentissement, Coca-Cola, à travers son porte-parole britannique, dut affirmer sa position. Habilement, Tim Wilkinson déplaça le débat sur le terrain de l'injure: "Nous rejetons de mani[è]re véhémente toute suggestion qu'en tant que compagnie Coca-Cola ait jamais sympathisé d'une quelconque manière aux actes répugnants ou aux politiques du régime nazi en Allemagne(2)." Wilkinson alla plus loin en rélélant que "Coca-Cola avait versé de l'argent aux fonds de compensation des victimes de travaux forcés sous le régime nazi. Non pas comme admission de sa culpabilité mais par solidarité de corporation." ... Seule la formule de Richard Niman(3) me paraît avoir désormais un sens. Commentant une exposition d'affiches publicitaires de Coke datant de l'époque hitlérienne, l'artiste anglais en avait résumé l'importance en déclarant: "Normalement, cela devrait embarrasser Coca-Cola." Personnellement, je n'en espère pas plus. 1. Coca-Cola's Nazi Adverts 2. The Independant, 26 mai 2004 3. Sculpteur britannique.
