Exploding Cars

Exploding Cars

We spend about thirty seconds setting up a shot. Fabian Oefner spends two months. Each of these photographs from his “Disintegrating” series took about that long to create, but, clearly, the results are worth it. The Swiss artist took apart model cars and suspended the various pieces to give the illusion that the cars were exploding in the picture. No bombs or laser beams used, just some ingenuity and a crap-ton of patience.
