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

Photographer Martin Klimas drops porcelain figures and captures high-speed images of the figures shattering:

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.”

“In physics, motion means a continuous change in the location of a body. Change in motion is the result of applied force. Motion is typically described in terms of velocity, acceleration, displacement, and time.”
