Helga Paris: Leipzig Hauptbahnhof 1981/82

Edited with text by Inka Schube.

Waiting for transit at Leipzig Central Station: photos by Helga Paris

This book collects 80 black-and-white photographs of the Leipzig Central Station taken by German photographer Helga Paris (born 1938). The series is a masterful study of a particular milieu with unmistakable characters—travelers, a toilet attendant, a woman selling lottery tickets, staff clearing dishes.

PRAISE AND REVIEWS

Collector Daily

Sabrina Mandanici

There are many stories one could tell about these photographs and the people within. What is, perhaps, most remarkable about Leipzig Hauptbahnhof is its soliloquy with time. Time in the sense of past, of years gone by, but also in the sense of recent history, mediated through the station’s physical architecture, as much as its social fabric.
