Pyromaniac’s Manual
This is an artbook from Polish visual artist Ada Zielińska whose work apparently “seeks out or stages acts of demolition, in order to capture the power inherent in disintegration.”
From the publisher’s introduction to the book:
Once you decide to literally set things on fire, Pyromaniac’s Manual will guide you safely through the process. The best fire is a controlled one, as the author points out, and getting hurt is not a success. Don’t forget to collect your trophies (such as selfies with “victims”), though.
Pyromaniac’s Manual marks an end to a 5-year long project that became one of Ada Zielińska’s trademarks, as well as a form of therapy for the artist. Regardless of your pyromaniac experience, the publication may come in handy in a number of everyday situations such as family road trips, Sunday strolls in a park or simply sitting patiently on your bookshelf, waiting for the right moment.
We wish you an enjoyable pyromania experience.
