Every season, Rob Hornstra selects an image from his archive and makes it available as an exclusive handmade C-print (36 x 42 cm / 14.2 x 16.5 in). The number of buyers determines the print run, up to a maximum of 25. Once the season is over, the image is no longer reprinted. This offer runs until 31 December 2019. Prints will be shipped in January 2020.

“During my third week in Chelyabinsk, Andrey, a befriended student who often accompanied me, took me to his family in a typical kommunalka; an apartment building where several families share one apartment. Toilet, shower and cooking facilities are also shared per floor at the end of the corridor. “

Andrey competently guided me past a guard on the ground floor, after which we took up the stairs.

“Everywhere people were hanging around in dark corridors and haphazardly I started making portraits of whoever I met. When we arrived at Andrey’s family, the guard had sniffed air from a foreign intruder. Five minutes later we were kicked out and standing back in the spring sun.”
