“It’s pathetic how we can’t live with the things we can’t understand. How we need everything labeled and explained and deconstructed.” ― Chuck Palahniuk
Things Come Apart is a collection of photographs by Todd Mclellan who captures the dismantling of mechanical and electronic objects of past and present. Disassembled objects are intricately arranged in a grid-like fashion or photographed in spectacular explosion.
The engineering and craftsmanship of products are captured in a state of order and disarray. Capturing components laid out in meticulous order allows the viewer to appreciate the enormous design and engineering effort applied to even “ordinary” products.
