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 or print sold out, the image is no longer reprinted. This offer runs until 30 September 2023. Prints will be shipped in October 2023.

Olya at the reception of Dom Kultury Druzhba, before the friday night disco starts. 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.”
—Cloakroom lady

DJ Artyom has to laugh about all the things that are said about Cement Town. “Of course there are some shady characters here. And things happen, you know. But I know everyone and what they’re all up to.”
