Sebastião Salgado’s “Workers” is a global epic that transcends mere imagery to become an affirmation of the enduring spirit of manual laborers. Spanning six years of travel, Salgado documents the vanishing world of industrial toil—from the sulfur mines of Indonesia to the ship-breaking beaches of Bangladesh. This Aperture edition maintains the integrity of the 1993 original, including the iconic 400-page layout and the essential companion booklet that provides the factual framework for Salgado’s powerful duotone compositions.
