The duality of the intimate and distant is also present in the picturesque fragment of the barn of the Russian wooden house. Through the exposed roof structures, the piercing blue of the sky shines through, exciting in its remoteness and inaccessibility. Once upon a time, the origins of Russian cosmonautics emerged in such houses. The wooden roof appears to us partially ruined — just as the domestic wooden architecture gradually collapses, weakening the ties of man and place. The further away we are from home, the more free we feel in outer space, the weaker these ties are the more our home, our planet needs our attention and protection.
