101 BILLIONAIRES (2009 CRISIS EDITION) - PHOTOGRAPHY: ROB HORNSTRA

At the beginning of 2008, the list of richest Russians contained 101 billionaires; a magical number that for the time being will not be matched. The global crisis hit hard in Russia. Exactly a year later, there are only 49 Russians with fortunes of ten figures or more. This drop was behind the decision to publish a second, revised edition of 101 Billionaires, the Crisis Edition.

101 Billionaires shows the other side of modern Russia, the raw reality that lurks behind the façade of the power elite. Rob Hornstra visited the regions to which Moscow has its exorbitant wealth to thank. Here he used his camera to record the fact that the Russian hinterland itself sees little of this prosperity.

The Crisis Edition has a print run of 1,000 copies. It has a hard cover and smaller format, but no fold-out pages and is therefore cheaper. The text has been adapted here and there to reflect current events.

Rob Hornstra’s images of Russian citizens are some of the best environmental portraits I’ve seen in recent years. They provide enough context to feel honest and true to his subjects, but maintain enough critical distance to keep the viewer from indulging in portraiture’s fantasy of capturing or revealing the depths of its subjects. As Frits Gierstberg writes in his statement, “[Hornstra’s] photographs radiate a warm humanism with a slight surreal touch.” It’s refreshing after seeing series after series of portraits that treat subjects (who are, at the current cultural moment, sexualized, effete, and occasionally pre-adolescent) as estranged, de-contextualized, and symbolic. Hornstra’s work is corrective of this tendency without being reactionary–it makes for a happy and overdue medium.

From 1958 on he started the so-called slash series, consisting in holes or slashes on the painting surface, drawing a sign of what he named “an art for the Space Age”.
