I have been running these special offers since 2017 from the ideology of making art accessible for anyone. More than 400 unique works including numbered certificates have found their way to buyers all around the globe. After thirty editions, this is my last Season Print Offer. Producing handcrafted analogue prints is becoming increasingly time-consuming and expensive. Valuing this process is difficult to reconcile with online sales. On top of that, the number of prints that get damaged or lost during shipment increases every year. As a result, packing and shipping becomes a time-consuming military operation. In case of Season Prints, my ideology is losing out to the investment it costs.

Anyone passing by the former Abkhazian seaside towns of Gagra and Pitsunda cannot overlook them: Georgian sculptor Zurab Tsereteli’s extraordinarily, beautifully designed bus stops, created in his early years. In the surrounding area, everything seems fallen apart, but the bus stops based on the shape of, miraculously survived the 1992-93 war.⁠ (Tsereteli was criticised by many throughout his career, not only for his pompous and kitsch-like structures, but also for his close involvement with the Russian government to this day.)⁠

For my project 101 Billionaires, published in 2008, I regularly visited Cement Town, a small suburb of the Siberian industrial city Angarsk. Including the dilapidated cultural center built in 1976, that once must have been the sparkling meeting point for families working at the cement factory. The old lady at the cloakroom does not allow me to take her portrait. “You better leave and do not come back here after sunset. Next morning, the floor will be littered with needles and blood.”

In 1961 Yuri Gagarin became the first person in space. By achieving this major milestone in the Space Race he became an international celebrity, and was awarded many medals and titles, including Hero of the Soviet Union. Gagarin became one of the most popular and best loved public figures in the Soviet Union. His effigy reached into every corner of the Soviet Union, even at the bus stop along the access road to the small mountain village of Kutisha in Dagestan, a republic of Russia situated in the North Caucasus.

Stalin had no less than two dachas there…

In the summer of 2011, writer Arnold van Bruggen and I travelled by train from beach to beach along the endless coastal strip around the Russian resort of Sochi. In the evenings we visited restaurants to portray the karaoke singer on duty for our book Sochi Singers. During the day, I photographed people on the beach. Not exactly my favourite thing to do. I always feel terribly awkward between all those half-naked sweating and frequently drunk people. This young lady strolled casually towards me on the pebble beach of Loo. My question whether I could photograph her was redundant. One click. Off she went.

Over the past weeks, newspapers in the Netherlands have been littered with stories about the Russian star ballerina Olga Smirnova, who spoke out against the war in Ukraine after which she fled from Moscow and joined the Dutch National Ballet in Amsterdam. Just like Dasha in this picture, she probably made her first ballet steps in an old, cosy local Dom Kultury.

Wrestling and the North Caucasus are inextricably linked. Not only is wrestling the most popular sport in the region, it is also the birthplace of many Olympic champions. A wrestling coach once explained it to us as follows: “If a boy starts wrestling at seven or eight, he does so as a serious man. It’s not just a game, but a serious fight between two men. Serious because the whole upbringing and education system here is serious. If you’re 14, then you need to be a fighter. You should be aware of that when you watch a wrestling match between two boys.”

Former pilot Sergey Ivanovich - ninety-one years old - is practically suffocating under the weight of the many decorations on his jacket. He is standing in his living room in the heavily nuclear contaminated village of Argayash in Russia. As part of my graduation project at the art academy in Utrecht, I travelled in 2003 with medium and large format camera through the Chelyabinsk region in Russia. This region is heavily polluted as a result of a nuclear accident that took place in 1957 in the Mayak Production Facility…

In January 2008, far away in an ice-cold Siberia, I was working on 101 Billionaires. In the city of Angarsk, I had arranged to visit the Victory Museum with a WWII veteran (the museum is visible on the right). In the small courtyard next to the museum, a retired MIG-23 is somewhat forlornly displayed. It was parked there for unknown reasons in 1990, after 18 years of service. Traces of vandalism - or resistance - were visible already: Graffiti, a smashed cockpit and some ripped-off sheet metal.

Together with Dutch journalist Jelle Brandt Corstius and a dramatic hangover I stroll through a typical huge Soviet city park called Zelyony Ostrov (Green Island). We are in Cherkessk, the capital of the North Caucasian republic of Karachay-Cherkessia. “Even for a small nation, the history of the Karachays is not very cheerful”, Jelle writes back home in his book about different small nations. Although it is summery and hot as hell, most attractions are out of service. Undoubtedly this has something to do with the technical state they are in.

Once the season is over, the image is no longer reprinted. The number of buyers determines the print run, up to a maximum of 25. This offer runs until 31 December 2020 (or sold out).

When we talk about the North Caucasus, most people think of republics like Chechnya, Dagestan or North Ossetia. Karachay-Cherkessia is less known. In 2008 I travelled to Karachay-Cherkessia together with Dutch journalist Jelle Brandt Corstius in order to understand more about small peoples with exotic names like the Karachays, the Cherkess, the Abazins, the Nogais and here and there some Kumyks. The latter live mainly in Dagestan, however they share the same incomprehensible language as the Karachays.

On the first day we pass Karachayevsk, the capital of the Karachay part, where mainly Islamic Karachays live. We shortly visit the mosque, which has just been completed. That turns out to be a good decision. While Jelle is listening to the imam talking about the brand-new chandelier made in China, I photograph the stunning view of the adjoining roundabout that connects three roads to different peoples.

Mikhail Filipovich Frolov, eighty-eight years old, grew up in Minsk and later in Siberian Krasnoyarsk. “I grew up in freezing cold. When I was sent to the Polish front during the Great Patriotic War, I was used to it. Soldiers who grew up in Azerbaijan had a fever more quickly”. After being wounded four times during the war, Frolov served in the army until he was 39 years old. He was able to retire thanks to the right connections. “I always dreamed of staying and growing old in Siberia, until I discovered the beauty of Sochi during a stay in a sanatorium. The trees are more beautiful here than in Siberia.” Frolov has been living permanently in Sochi since the early 1980s.

I took this photo of schoolchildren after lunch during our first visit to Krasny Vostok in 2009. It is one of the last pictures before we were evicted from the village. While it started as a promising day. After an extensive tour by a talkative WWII veteran in the local school museum we were told that the harvest festival was about to start. Around us children were running around dressed as cucumbers, onions and carrots. Until a typical math teacher - colouring glasses and sweat stains under the armpits - angrily walks at the principal and swears that foreigners are not allowed to be in the school building. The principal calls the mayor, the mayor calls local authorities, local authorities call Moscow and the final answer is always: Get out! And thus a positive story about the difficult resurrection of an energetic village with cheerful children changed again into a story about Russian paranoia and xenophobia.

Nikolay Felipovich Khokhlov - 89 years old - has worked for the secret service all of his working life. He started at a young age during the Second World War, where he visited hospitals in the region around Krasnoyarsk searching for soldiers who had injured themselves on the way to the front in order to avoid the war. During his career with the KGB he was promoted to lieutenant colonel and transferred to Sochi. There he became responsible for spying on foreigners. “If you’d walked around Sochi at that time, you can be sure I’d have been watching you every minute of every day,” he laughs.

My neighbour Kid – the subject of my new project Man Next Door – was a huge animal lover. He lost his beloved pit bull after it viciously attacked someone and had to be put down. When his wife left him, he stayed on in the house with his other great loves: two ball pythons named Kleintje and Pikachu. The snakes only needed food every 40 days. He usually fed them in their terrarium, but he also liked letting them loose on his sofa or bed where, if it was feeding time, he gave them live mice and rats. Kid never felt sorry for the rat: “Basically, he presses him to death immediately. More or less.”

Following the quick sale of Winter prints, there were several requests if the work could be framed. The answer is yes. We looked for a durable system and an appropriate price. The additional cost for mounting on 1 mm aluminum and framing including anti-reflex, UV protective glass is 115 euros (including VAT). Shipping is not recommended due to the risk of breaking glass. Pick up from my studio in Utrecht is possible by appointment.

Of course you can also still order this analog c-print without framing. Better be quick. There are currently 4 prints left of the ballet class and 11 days to go.

My first day to commemorate the Victory of the Great Patriotic War (WWII) took place on May 9, 2003 in Chelyabinsk. I had just landed for the first time in Russia and had no idea what was going to happen. Fortunately I had taken my large format camera that day in the hope that I could take some portraits on the streets. It happened to be a photographers paradise. Proud personalities in magnificent uniforms against wonderful backgrounds. I repeatedly had to change my films outside, with sweaty hands in a light-tight changing bag. Many of the portraits taken on that day - including this lady - ended up in my first book Communism & Cowgirls.

Until January 1, 2017, this analogue c-print can be purchased for only 145 euros (excluding frame and shipping). The number of buyers determines the print run, up to a maximum of 25.
