Statement
AN ARCHEOLOGY OF THE INDUSTRIAL AGE
With Workers, Salgado offers us a global epic that transcends the simple image to magnify the courage of men and women at work.
Press Release
"A rare album that pays tribute to the ancestral traditions of manual workers still practiced in our new millennium, while machines and computers replace humans everywhere. Through images of striking authenticity and beauty, Salgado composes a visual elegy dedicated to these men and women at work, who overcome the harshest conditions with admirable obstinacy, to reach a singular grace. (...) By honouring the timeless spirit and courage of manual workers, Workers accounts for the human condition with integrity and respect."
