Sebastião Salgado. Workers
An Archaeology of the Industrial Age
“This book is a tribute to those men and women who still work as they have for centuries.” Sebastião Salgado
Sebastião Salgado’s photographs present an archaeological perspective on manual labour, shedding light on practices which endured from the Stone Age through the Industrial Revolution and up to the present day. He created an elegy to outmoded traditions and the dignity and fortitude of those working in the face of the most dangerous conditions.
