Description: Kosmos Train is a photo documentary essay by Janine Graubaum. It shows daily life images of people at Eastern Europe trains. Mostly the old trains are the last survivors of Soviet Union times and became nuisance to the locals. But if you watch precisely a unique parallel universe will unfold itself within the wagons tight bellies. Time stands still for a very long moment. Dandling they carry you and your thoughts to distant destinations. From 2013 till 2015 Graubaum consistently went on journeys in Eastern Europe to look out for special moments within old Soviet trains and their surroundings.
