This exhibition is comprised of images from Sebastião Salgado's current project, devoted to the epic theme of "the end of manual labor." In these magnificent photographs taken throughout the world, Salgado has brought together an archeological view of the activities that have defined labor from the Iron Age through the Industrial Revolution to the present. Comprised of approximately 250 images, many never previously published or exhibited, the exhibition will be augmented with several dramatic large-scale blow-ups of key images, and a video installation. The exhibition and its accompanying 380-page catalogue, published by Aperture Foundation in association with the Philadelphia Museum of Art, are made possible by Professional Imaging, Eastman Kodak Company.
