Swiss photographer Fabian Oefner specializes in dissecting objects and photographing them in stunning detail. His work is meticulously and thoughtfully crafted. One of Oefner’s more famous series, ‘ Disintegrating ,’ features images of performance cars seemingly being blown apart. Fabian’s latest project, ‘ Heisenberg Objekt No. III ,’ features a sliced up Leica M6 rangefinder camera. Oefner’s primary material for his latest project is, of course, a Leica M6. A used M6 can be found for around $2,500. He then covered the camera in a resin block and then used a bandsaw to cut the block into its requisite parts. Once Oefner had made his careful cuts, he assembled the pieces into a beautiful sculpture. The sculpture is held together using pieces of brass. Of ‘Heisenberg Objekt No. III,’, which is inspired by the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, Oefner writes, ‘In the field of quantum mechanics, there is a law, which says that we cannot measure the position and the velocity of a particle at the same time. The more accurately we know one of the parameters, the less accurately we know the other.’ Oefner continues, ‘When you look at the Heisenberg Objekt No. III from a distance, you can […]
