Workers (Gong Ren)
__NOTOC__
Workers () is a book of 143 portraits of migrant workers who participated in the construction of the Olympic Green in Beijing, China in the lead up to the 2008 Summer Olympics. The book is the work of British artist Helen Couchman and consists primarily of photographs of the workers on the building site. The workers were photographed with the iconic buildings of the Beijing Olympics: The Beijing National Stadium (国家体育场), known colloquially as the "Bird's Nest" (鸟巢), and the Beijing National Aquatics Center (国家游泳中心), also known as the "Water Cube" (水立方).
== Background ==
At the height of its construction, nearly 17,000 workers were involved in building the "Bird's Nest". ''Workers 工人'' documents the human side of construction with worker portraits, information on the workers themselves, and details on how Couchman carried out the project. In December 2007, Couchman circumvented security on the Olympic construction site and was able to approach the workers about taking their pictures.〔Toy, Mary-Anne.

Retrieved 29 May 2011〕 Couchman felt that the element of exchange was key to this project.〔Ghomeshi, Jian. ("Q: Arts and Culture" ), ''CBC Radio'', 30 June 2008, Retrieved 13 July 2010.〕
