Tree DNA (2024) 사진 Ekaterina Kastalskaya 로

The picture was taken by photographer Ekaterina Kastalskaya on March 3, 2024 in the town of writers in Peredelkino near Moscow on SFL T-42 ISO 400 film, aka Tasma Type-42 aerial film.

In this photo you can see bizarre trees — an art object in the park near the Dom Tvorchestva Peredelkino (House of Writers' Creativity).
They were installed in place of the hundred-year-old spruce trees that perished in 2021 from an invasion of the typograph beetle. The author of the bizarre trees is Nikolai Polissky, a famous master of land-art — a trend in art in which the work is always inextricably linked with the surrounding landscape.

🟦 At one time or another Peredelkino became home to Boris Pasternak, Isaac Babel, Boris Pilnyak, Alexander Fadeev, Valentin Kataev, Korney Chukovsky, Andrei Voznesensky, Bella Akhmadulina, Lilya Brik, Fazil Iskander, Yuri Mamleev, Bulat Okudzhava, Vasily Aksenov, and Arseniy Tarkovsky.

Many prominent writers, poets, translators, playwrights, literary critics would come to stay at Dom Tvorchestva, including Alexander Solzhenitsyn, Anna Akhmatova, Viktor Shklovsky, Mikhail Bakhtin, Bob Dylan and Allen Ginzberg.

✔️ The decree of the Council of People's Commissars "On the construction of the City of Writers" was issued on July 19, 1933.

Lists of the first residents - at first only 30 dachas were built - were discussed a lot before approval. They were Pasternak, Pilnyak, Pavlenko, Poor, Ivanov, Malyshkin, Gladkov, Leonov, Erenburg, Panfenov, Shaginyan, Bakhmetyev, Babel and other famous writers of the time.

It was decided that the dachas built with state money would be assigned to the writers for life. And six months after the death of the owner, a meeting would decide on a new tenant.

Now not every house is open for excursions, some have people living in them. But you can look into the house-museums of Chukovsky, Pasternak, Okudzhava, the gallery-museum of Yevtushenko.
