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.-David Dick-Agnew "Azure"
Фотограф Кристофер Хервиг, родом из Англии, создал серию фотографий, под названием "Soviet Bus Stops". Центром внимания проекта стали автобусные остановки в странах бывшего Советского Союза. Кристофер проделал путь, охватывающих более 18000 миль через такие страны, как: Казахстан, Туркменистан, Узбекистан, Кыргызстан, Таджикистан, Украина, Молдова, Армения, Грузия, Литва, Латвия, Беларусь и Эстония. Идея фотографировать остановки появилась у фотографа еще 12 лет назад, когда он отправился в путешествие из Лондона в Санкт-Петербург на велосипеде. Он поставил себе цель делать одну фотографию каждый час. Тогда то он и заметил эти "памятники" советской культуры.
