The owner is Russian. The factory is running at a loss and under bank supervision. Everyone is hoping for a new, European owner. With the elections approaching, government officials come to visit in person. Afterwards, a meal is shared in the adjacent restaurant.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eEntire families once worked in the factory. That is long gone. Advanced technology has taken over part of the work. For the remaining positions, it is difficult to find workers, despite the school that trains young people for the job. With rising prosperity, most young people’s ambitions lie elsewhere. The factory therefore recruits staff from far away: from Nepal, from Uzbekistan.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMeanwhile, prosperity finds its way. Motorcycles are started, game is hunted, traditions continue to live. Just like in any region in Europe, the local culture and customs in this region hold great value, and while the outside world is becoming ever smaller and more accessible, these traditions must be preserved and maintained. Preferably without too much interference from the outside, because, especially in a united Europe, local differences have to be cherished.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTitle\u003c\/strong\u003e: Where the Fire Slumbers \/ Kjer ogenj tli\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConcept and photography\u003c\/strong\u003e: Rob Hornstra\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eText\u003c\/strong\u003e: Arnold van Bruggen\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEditors\u003c\/strong\u003e: Julija Hoda, Petra Radoja\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBilingual\u003c\/strong\u003e: English \/ Slovenian\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVolume\u003c\/strong\u003e: Saddle stitch, 28 pages, 32 x 45 cm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/mgml.si\/en\/about\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eMuseum and Galleries of Ljubljana\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncludes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Archival print on Hahnemühle Baryta\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTitle: \u003c\/strong\u003eThe Devil, Ptuj, Slovenia, 2026\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e: 28 x 35 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEdition\u003c\/strong\u003e: 33 copies + 2 AP\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNumbered and signed certificate of authenticity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"robhornstra.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58291479707973,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1346\/8959\/files\/Repro_When_the_Fire_Slumbers_402_devil.jpg?v=1781615941","url":"https:\/\/robhornstra-com.myshopify.com\/products\/where-the-fire-slumbers-the-devil-edition-of-33","provider":"The Europeans","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
