Still Life by Martin Klimas

By onelargeprawn in Arts & Crafts on Sep 10, 2007 at 7:00 am


Martin Klimas hails from Germany and takes fantastic “still life” photos. He drops clay figurines from the same height in complete darkness with the camera lens open. When the figurine hits the ground, the sound of the impact triggers the lights to go on for a fraction of a second.

    Wouldn't it trigger the lights to go on?

    Who knew that a pinhole camera and a Clapper® could make such cool art?

    For someone interested in ceramics, it is almost a shame that so many of these old ceramic pieces have to be destroyed. Admittedly, they look like the kind one would find at a cheap antique sale....but they could be very important pieces.

    I wonder how many hundreds of these figurines he destroyed to get the few that actually look good?

    I doubt he dropped any priceless artifacts. Probably got someone to make a bunch for him.
