Dockers of Sunda Kelapa Harbour, Jakarta |
Débardeurs du port de Sunda Kelapa, Jakarta |
Music: REOG, a traditional Javanese music.
|
While you are watching the one minute video and stomping your feet to the rhythm of the REOG (Trad. Java music) these dockers will have carried on their backs 1560 kilograms or so of cement and corn filled bags. (In this video, I counted 39 bags weighing 40 kilos or more each).
The stevedores must walk on planks measuring less than 40 centimetres wide. (15 inches) Author’s note: I tried walking on a plank with my camera and video gear. When I reached the half waypoint, I had to get down on all fours to reach the ship. |
Pendant la minute que vous regarderez le court vidéo en tapant du pied au rythme du REOG (musique trad. de Java), les dockers auront transportés sur leur dos plus de 1560 kilogrammes de sac de ciment et de maïs. (dans le vidéo j’ai compté 39 sacs pesant chacun 40 kilos) |
