Book Synopsis



Paris' photographic chronicle of a 1980s factory remains one of her foremost accomplishments

In 1984, the German photographer Helga Paris (born 1938) spent several weeks at a state-owned clothing factory, during which time she shot more than 1,500 photographs. From these she selected the 49 powerful images that make up the series Women at the Clothing Factory VEB Treff-Modelle Berlin. These photographs capture her subjects engaged in their work or taking cigarette breaks, conveying the serenity and beauty of the sitters in their brief moments of tranquility amid the factory environment. Helga Paris: Women at Work collects the entire series and gathers it in a format that is affordable to a wider audience. This beautifully designed volume features a linen-bound printed cover with embossed text.



Review Quotes




Paris's portraits correct the record of gender equality in East Germany.--Billy Anania "Brooklyn Rail"

The images of women at work are exemplars of the photographer's distinct, documentary approach and her commitment to capturing something of the actuality of real people. Allowing her protagonists to gaze back at us, and offering glimpses of the factory environment, Paris invites us to reconstruct their personal and collective histories, reinforcing her maxim that "every face is an experience".--Lilly Markaki "Tank"
