Gallery: Exploding Classic Cars

Submitted by msr on December 8, 2013

In an effort to breathe life into machinery, this artist is blowing cars to pieces.

OK so they’re really only models, and it’s being done very carefully – but the result is still pretty damn impressive!

Fabian Oefner’s spectacular collections can be broken down into two categories: “Disintegrating”, and “Hatch”. Disintegrating sees the cars carefully dissected piece by piece and painstakingly photographed one component at a time before blending hundreds of captures into a single image, whilst Hatch seeks to breathe like into the sleek shape of classic sports cars, by using latex molds to give the effect that they are emerging from a shell.

The processes use of a little bit of string and a whole lot of patience, with stunning results. Enjoy the widescreen images, and watch the video clip at the end.
