This fantastic book published by Kant is a wonderful edition of Salgado's epic book exploring the dignity of work at the end of the 20th Century. Made over a period of six years, the 350 photographs comprising the series were first exhibited in 1993; for this publication, the project's original curator Lelia Wanick Salgado, has narrowed the selection down to 81 of the strongest photographs. Magnum photographer Sebastio Salgado makes breathtaking work that harshly displays what ‘workers’ are truly experiencing. With images of impressive beauty, Salgado has composed a visual elegy with which he honors those men and women who maintain their indomitable spirit and dignity even under the harshest working conditions. More than any other living photographer, Sebastião Salgado's images of the forgotten, the wretched and the marginalized of the world are a homage to the human condition. Salgado defines his work as 'combative photography' dedicated to 'a better understanding of what it means to be human'. Over decades, in his photographs, he has given back to the poor and disenfranchised some of the human dignity they were in danger of losing - from the hungry in the Sahel to the indigenous peoples of South America. Sebastio Salgado's Workers is an elegy to the manual laborers of the industrial age in the fields of agriculture, mining, oil, construction, food and industry. Salgado's powerful images of tea pickers in Rwanda, dam builders in India, steelworkers in France and the Ukraine, sugarcane harvesters in Brazil, assembly-line workers in Russia and China, sulfur miners in Indonesia and others pay moving tribute to the working people who, in Salgado's portrayal, have maintained their dignity under the harshest of conditions.
