70 IN 7

“Seventy in Seven” was photographed in South Korea in September 1993. It constitutes one chapter of Fish Story, Allan Sekula’s opus magnum, which grew out of the artist’s seven-year-long journey between harbors and port cities across the globe. With his lens trained on the shipping industry, maritime trade and the people who make the global transport system work, Sekula is committed (as in his essayistic writing) to showing the human and environmental costs of our modernity.
