Photographers Luke Duggleby and Mikel Landa visited 25 countries to find places where salt is produced according to centuries-old traditions. The results are collected in their book Salz Der Erde (“Salt of the Earth”), published by Mare Verlag.
“We know that there are many other saltworks that deserve being shown in this book. The selection has been difficult. We have selected 29 saltworks searching a balance between types of saltworks, landscapes, production methods and cultures.”
