A propos de cet article

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. Art Edition (No. 1-100), with the gelatin silver print Fishermen, Trapani, Sicily, Italy, 1991, each signed by Sebastião Salgado. Archival fiber-based gelatin silver print, 40 x 30 cm, in portfolio; hardcover volume in clamshell box, 33 x 25.5 cm, 400 pages. Salgado s World of Work Art Edition of Sebastião Salgado s homage to the world of manual labour Sebastião Salgado s photo book classic Workers. An Archaeology of the Industrial Age (first published in 1993) pays tribute to the time-honoured tradition of manual labour in the new millennium when machines and computers replace human workers throughout the globe. With images of striking beauty and integrity, Salgado composes a visual elegy for the working men and women, whose indomitable spirit has prevailed over the harshest of conditions to achieve a singular grace. More than those of any other living photographer, Sebastião Salgado s images of the world s poor stand in tribute to the human condition. Salgado defines his work as militant photography , dedicated to the best comprehension of man ; over the decades he has bestowed great dignity on the most isolated and neglected among us from famine-stricken refugees in the Sahel to the indigenous peoples of South America. With Workers, Salgado brings us a global epic that transcends mere image making to become an affirmation of the enduring spirit of working men and women. In this volume, three hundred fifty duotone photographs form an archaeological perspective of the activities that have defined hard work from the Stone Age through the Industrial Revolution to the present. With images of the infernal landscape of an Indonesian sulphur mine, the drama of traditional Sicilian tuna fishing, and the staggering endurance of Brazilian gold miners, Salgado unearths layers of visual information to reveal the ceaseless human activity at the core of modern civilization. Workers presents its subject on several interactive levels: Salgado s introductory text, written in collaboration with Eric Nepomuceno, expands his passionate photographic iconography; and extended captions, also written by Salgado, provide a historical and factual framework. Honouring the timeless and indomitable spirit of the manual labourer, Workers renders the human condition with honesty and respect. Art Edition (No. 1 100), with the gelatin silver print Fishermen, Trapani, Sicily, Italy, 1991, each signed by Sebastião Salgado.
