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.
##印刷一般
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##曾经的苏联必定是繁荣昂扬的无以复加,那些荒郊野外毅然矗立的站台,那些破旧却仍然有独特气质的站台,无不诉说着曾经发达的经济和思想…感觉是用了我们走向西方后没有用到的一部分脑子才能想出这样的设计,这些大规模的,集群化的彰显着曾经丰富的创造力和设计水平…无法复制的点在于我们丢失了某种未知的思维能力…
评分##没理由地迷恋一切苏联建筑,下学期有空再研究
