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 and creates wonderful transformation.
His photographs explore time and material objects—an object that can be intact and so serene one minute can easily be destabilized the next. These figurines display a perpetual sense of motion. The intention of this process is that the process of an action creates a new object. Every picture becomes a sculpture on its own by showing the transformation of an object that no longer exists.
Actually Martin did said in one of his interviews that, it took atleast 20 odd attempts to make one perfect shot. I do believe he is the wholesale dealer of China clay figurines in Germany:-). Anyhow This is Incredible Art, isn't it?.
