Sazonov house. Built in the 1890s in Ostashevo, Chuchloma, Kostroma region of Russia.

The history of the house is a little convoluted and obscure. Though it is commonly know as Sazonov house, there is speculation that it was not built by the wealthy merchant Sazonov, but by a man named Markov. Ropet is also credited with the design of the house, but it is not clear whether the house, which is a lot simpler than its blueprints, was built by Ropet himself or an architect that borrowed or was influenced by his ideas and aesthetic.

Alphabet of Things, 1964 by photographer Czech born Běla Kolářová (1923–2010). Based on her belief that it was impossible to photograph the real world accurately, Kolářová invented her own method of depicting the reality called the ‘artificial negative’. Creation of ‘artificial negatives’ involves pressing small objects into paraffin layers on pieces of cellophane. Her work centered around the theme of feminine and domestic life rooted in the context of the Cold War and exile.
