“I am … a sculptor, but I have only a 5000th of a second to build my sculpture.”

Porcelain Figure Shattering by Martin Klimas

“The aspect of destroying is not the most important one in my work. Let’s say it is a catalyst to unleash and study this transformation. The hardest part of my work is to smash so many figurines until I find one that truly is showing me something new. I am in that sense a sculptor, but I have only a 5000th of a second to build my sculpture.”
