“MINES” BY ERMANNO FORONI

This project is a collection of images depicting miners of gold, coal, silver, sapphires, coltan and diamonds taken from 1986 to 2008 in seven different locations: Brazil, Romania, Bolivia, Madagascar, Congo Muanga, Congo Kivu and Sierra Leone.

In this travels, often in hostile environments, Foroni through photography tries to analyze and understand the different social situations that lay ahead. Many of the images were created under rough conditions and are strongly real and immediate shots.
