《蘇聯巴士站：路上的詩意》穿越 18,000 英里，尋找蘇聯遺落在路邊的建築奇觀。
在一次從倫敦騎行至聖彼得堡的長途旅程中，攝影師 Christopher Herwig 偶然發現了一種奇妙的景象：散落在荒涼公路上的蘇聯時代公車站，造型竟出乎意料地大膽又奇特。為了拍下一張「每小時最好的照片」，他開始注意這些看似不起眼、卻充滿創意的建築。
十二年後，Herwig 已踏遍前蘇聯 14 個國家、超過 18,000 英里的路程，透過汽車、自行車、巴士與計程車，追尋並記錄這些公車站的身影。
在蘇聯時期，地方公車站竟成為一種意想不到的藝術實驗場：沒有明確的設計限制，也幾乎沒有預算束縛，讓各地建築師與工匠自由發揮。於是，沿著公路出現了一座座風格迥異的建築——
從冷峻的粗獷主義（Brutalism），到充滿童趣與幻想感的雕塑式結構，每一座都像是一件公共藝術。
《Soviet Bus Stops》收錄來自哈薩克、土庫曼、烏茲別克、吉爾吉斯、塔吉克、烏克蘭、摩爾多瓦、亞美尼亞、喬治亞、波羅的海三國等地的公車站，是目前最完整、最多樣的蘇聯公車站設計攝影集。本書最初以限量版出版後迅速售罄，並被攝影大師 Martin Parr 評為 2014 年最佳攝影書之一。如今，這本備受期待的擴充版以全新小開本形式重新登場。
Soviet vernacular architecture across 18,000 miles in 14 countries
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.
