Dum Spiro Spero

Dum Spiro Spero takes you to the active Kawah Ijen volcano and is the only manually operated sulphur mine in the world. The work in the mine is called the worst job in the world because of the toxic gases around the crater, which measure 4o times higher than what can be considered acceptable for humans to stay in. The book and exhibition Dum Spiro Spero is the result of a unique collaboration with the Nederman Group, where the air we breathe is in focus.
