Description

Hardcover, 303 pages, published 2022. This book presents a unique collection of artefacts created during a period of significant change in Russia. Over 220 objects are featured, each accompanied by a photograph and a detailed account of their creation. These personal, handmade items offer a fascinating glimpse into the lives of their creators and the circumstances in which they were made. The Vladimir Arkhipov collection includes a wide range of functional objects, often with idiosyncratic qualities, that were designed for use both inside and outside the home. From a tiny bathtub plug fashioned from a boot heel to a doormat made from beer bottle tops, each item provides a window into the ingenuity and resourcefulness of its creator. This reprinted edition offers a rare insight into a critical period in Russian history, when the Soviet regime was crumbling but a new system had yet to be established. The objects on display reflect the shortages, challenges, and opportunities faced by individuals during this time, making for a compelling and thought-provoking read.
