The themes and motifs of Helga Paris' photographs appear simple and everyday and at the same time convey dignity and elegance. In 1984, the German photographer Helga Paris spent several weeks in a state-owned clothing factory in East Berlin and took more than 1,500 photographs during this time. This publication shows for the first time 49 selected portraits that Helga Paris chose for her series Women in the clothing factory VEB Treff-Modelle Berlin. The images show their subjects in moments of calm in the midst of the factory environment. The close familiarity with the workers and their environment resulted in touching portraits that show the subjects in brief moments of calm.
