Helga Paris: Leipzig Hauptbahnhof 1981/82

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.
