Breaking Porcelain Figurines by Martin Klimas

German photographer Martin Klimas destroys porcelain figurines to create these beautiful artistic shots.

“I drop the figurine 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. I do this procedure many times or until I find the one frame that is just right. I keep just one such picture for every figurine. Every attempt yields a unique outcome, so I need to look for the one that best expresses a transformation of the figurine into a new form.”
