{"product_id":"binom-by-nata-drachinskaya","title":"Binom by Nata Drachinskaya","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eFor most of her life, Nata Drachinskaya believed she knew her father. After his suicide in 2001, she found a box of photographs, slides, family albums, official documents and personal belongings that revealed a life she had never known.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eFor more than twenty-five years, her father worked as a cryptographer, developing encryption algorithms to protect state communications. His work was so highly classified that his family never knew what he did. Drachinskaya began going through his photographic archive to understand his life. Over time, the project widened to include family, memory and secrecy, and the forces that shape ordinary lives without being seen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBinom is made of two connected volumes. One rebuilds the father his daughter remembers, through family photographs and everyday moments. The other follows the hidden life that slowly surfaces from the archive, a life shaped by silence and omission. Together, they show the distance between what we know and what stays hidden, and how a personal history can challenge official accounts and the way we were taught to see the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eDrachinskaya works with family photographs, negatives, slides, official documents and her own images, and approaches the archive as a subject of investigation. A summer house built by hand, evenings spent writing code, childhood games, cherished objects and family rituals all become part of a larger story. Binom asks how memory is formed, how silence passes from one generation to the next, and how every family holds histories that are both shared and hidden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe title comes from the mathematical term binomial, an algebraic expression made of two terms. The book is built on this idea of two: two lives, two narratives, two versions of reality, the visible and the invisible. Mathematics, precise and impartial, can serve very different human purposes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blow Up press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55136857751893,"sku":"BI-NOM","price":46.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0573\/5016\/0524\/files\/binom-by-nata-drachinskaya-8386377.jpg?v=1790676807","url":"https:\/\/www.tipi-bookshop.be\/products\/binom-by-nata-drachinskaya","provider":"Tipi bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
