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.
##在博物館商店翻完,有些車站設計印象很深
評分##就地取材為當地人熟悉到忽略的公交站記錄成冊也是非常有趣的
評分 評分##曾經的蘇聯必定是繁榮昂揚的無以復加,那些荒郊野外毅然矗立的站颱,那些破舊卻仍然有獨特氣質的站颱,無不訴說著曾經發達的經濟和思想…感覺是用瞭我們走嚮西方後沒有用到的一部分腦子纔能想齣這樣的設計,這些大規模的,集群化的彰顯著曾經豐富的創造力和設計水平…無法復製的點在於我們丟失瞭某種未知的思維能力…
評分##一開始點頭,後麵抓狂搖頭
評分##關於公交車站的無數種可能性。小小的站颱,既有遮陰避雨的功能,又是各種文化性、地域性、民族性的體現。這些曠野路邊形態各異的站颱,像是逃離宏大、嚴肅、體製性建築之外的一個個異想天開的想法,凝固成一個個小小的庇護所。人們站在這裏,等待一輛公車駛來,帶著他們去嚮下一個目的地。
