Oulu, FINLAND, 🇫🇮 until December 31. 2026. Entitled PLAY, this group exhibition is part of the European Capital of Culture programme and is curated by Fotografiska Tallinn. @herwig_photo is proud to be showing a collection of my bus stop images from the Soviet era and to be included with such an esteemed group of artists: Martin Parr, Cristina de Middel, Susan Meiselas, Jouko Lehtola, Bruce Davidson, Roger Ballen, Nina Katchadourian, Sage Sohier, Trent Parke, Karolina Wojtas, Niccolo Rastrelli, Joosep Kivimäe, Mathias Väärsi, Pelle Cass, Deanna Dikeman and Louis-Philippe Rondeau. The exhibition explores play as both a source of joy and a distraction, highlighting moments of delight, resilience, rebellion and connection. Together, the works form a visual journey into play as a deeply human form of expression and a non-verbal language.

PREMIERE 🇸🇪🍾 - Excited and proud to present new material on my bus stop series, @herwig_photo . Now open in Sweden @svenstorpartcenter until September 27, 2026. "Bus Stops Never Stop!" ( Armen Sardarov - bus stop architect). The series has come a long way since its last Swedish showing at Stockholm's Galleri Kontrast in 2003 and includes work from Soviet Bus Stops Volume 1 and 2 (@fuelpublishing ), as well as 13 new images from recent travels. Located between Gothenburg and Stockholm, Svenstorp Art Center is a work of art designed by architect @tinajohanssson and showcases the mind-blowing work of surrealist photo artist @erik.joh . The team's attention to detail and lighting help elevate these humble bus stops to hero status. #lithuania #latvia #armenia #azerbaijan #kazakhstan #krygystan #turkmenistan #tajikstan #uzbekistan #Georgia #moldova #estonia #belarus #ukraine
