Still Life

Martin Klimas, an artist from Germany, destroys a lot of clay to make his art. Combining the silence of Eadweard Muybridge's horse pictures with the association-rich composition of a still life, Klimas breaks recognizable objects so they become something else, and stops us just at the moment of transformation.

He drops his figurines from the same height in complete darkness while the lens of the camera is open. When the figurine hits the ground, the sound triggers the lights to go off for a fraction of a second.
