German-Hungarian artist Katharina Roters has produced a book of photographs documenting the ornamental patterns residents have added to a type dwelling in Hungary known as The Hungarian Cube. They are a type of home dating back to the 1920s, which can be found in many of the country's towns and suburbs. The houses have become closely identified with post-war communism, and were often decorated as a protest against standardisation. Locally the houses were known as the ‘Kadar cube’ – after communist president János Kádár – and hostility towards his regime has led to many of the houses being torn down.
