如今,在摄影被艺术世界和数字操纵吸收的情况下,萨尔加多的摄影作品具有一种《圣经》般的特质并投射出一种即时性,这些让他的作品具有生动的当代感。塞拉佩拉达(Serra Pelada)的矿山早已关闭,但紧张的淘金热大戏却从这些图像中跳了出来。 本书收集了萨尔加多拍摄的关于塞拉佩拉达的所有作品,这些作品用博物馆级的品质被复制出来,并附有萨尔加多撰写的一篇前言和艾伦 里丁(Alan Riding)的的一篇随笔。本书还出了签名的限量收藏版和艺术版。 What is it about a dull yellow metal that drives men to abandon their homes, sell their belongings and cross a continent in order to risk life, limbs and sanity for a dream?
