“Perhaps the best-known artwork to tap into Kaczynski’s history is Richard Barnes’s 1998 “Unabomber Cabin” series. Two years after the FBI apprehended Kaczynski, Barnes managed to persuade authorities to allow him to photograph Kaczynski’s cabin, which the authorities had lifted wholesale from the Montana mountainside and placed in a warehouse.

In Unabomber Cabin, Sacramento, CA, Barnes captured the cabin sitting in the wide expanse of a warehouse, looking like a readymade installation, the rustic, compact structure at odds with the harsh fluorescent lighting and industrial setting. In Unabomber Cabin Exhibit A, B, C, and D, the cabin floats in darkness, its front and sides exposed in each respective photograph.”
