Martine Jacobs — Mondrian’s Window (1998)

A rare historical work where Mondrian’s iconic grid is interrupted by a reclining human figure. Jacobs explores the tension between modernist abstraction and the vulnerability of the body, merging painting, collage, and conceptual practice into a striking phygital artwork.

I remember the Anarchist Cookbook from the early internet days in the 1990s. It was a long list of recipes for creating munitions and explosives from easily accessible chemicals and materials. Probably not the same book.
