Workers - Sebastião Salgado
More than those of any other living photographer, Sebastião Salgado’s images of the world’s poor stand in tribute to the human condition. Workers is a global epic that transcends mere imagery to become an affirmation of the enduring spirit of working women and men. His transforming photographs bestow dignity on the most isolated and neglected, from famine-stricken refugees in the Sahel to the indigenous peoples of South America.
Divided into six categories―Agriculture, Food, Mining, Industry, Oil, and Construction―the book unearths layers of visual information to reveal the ceaseless human activity at the core of modern civilization. The book is an archaeological exploration of the activities that have defined labor from the Stone Age through the Industrial Age, to the present. Extended captions provide a historical and factual framework for the images.
An elegy for the passing of traditional methods of labor and production, Workers delivers a message of endurance and hope.
