Photographer Christopher Herwig first noticed the unusual architecture of Soviet-era bus stops during a 2002 long-distance bike ride from London to St. Petersburg. Challenging himself to take one good photograph every hour, Herwig began to notice surprisingly designed bus stops on otherwise deserted stretches of road. Twelve years later, Herwig had covered more than 18,000 miles in 14 countries of the former Soviet Union, traveling by car, bike, bus and taxi to hunt down and document these bus stops.
The local bus stop proved to be fertile ground for local artistic experimentation in the Soviet period, and was built seemingly without design restrictions or budgetary concerns. The result is an astonishing variety of styles and types across the region, from the strictest Brutalism to exuberant whimsy.
Soviet Bus Stops is the most comprehensive and diverse collection of Soviet bus stop design ever assembled, including examples from Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Ukraine, Moldova, Armenia, Abkhazia, Georgia, Lithuania, Latvia, Belarus and Estonia. Originally published in a quickly sold-out limited edition, Soviet Bus Stops, named one of the best photobooks of 2014 by Martin Parr, is now available in a highly anticipated, expanded smaller-format trade edition.
##关于公交车站的无数种可能性。小小的站台,既有遮阴避雨的功能,又是各种文化性、地域性、民族性的体现。这些旷野路边形态各异的站台,像是逃离宏大、严肃、体制性建筑之外的一个个异想天开的想法,凝固成一个个小小的庇护所。人们站在这里,等待一辆公车驶来,带着他们去向下一个目的地。
评分##记住了第一页的玩具公交车
评分##既科幻,又非常有民族特点,很多车站令人印象深刻
评分##百花齐放的公交站台,是苏联历史和文化的一瞥。
评分##偶然的机会翻了翻,感觉很赛博朋克
评分##去年花了400多在eBay上的英国书店买了已出版的两册,到今天为止都还没有收到。直到今年淘宝已经有得卖了,还是很想拥有就又买了一本第一册。苏联的巴士站设计真的很棒,跟那些斯拉夫的纪念碑一样天马行空。(下一本就买斯拉夫的纪念碑画册)
评分##设计水平很高看不出来的请反省
评分##一开始点头,后面抓狂摇头
评分##就是把平白无奇的东西拍成了有意义的事件
