The unexpected beauty of taking everyday objects apart
The updated edition features 20 new teardowns of technology and mechanical products, arranged first by size then by intricacy. There's an AC unit and a gas meter, a ceiling fan and a cassette tape, but also a 3D printer, an ECG machine and a brand new Amazon Echo.
Many of these items are presented both as painstakingly laid-out still-lifes and in disarray, reflecting what McLellan calls his"dual artistic persona." A collection of essays from notable figures of the DIY world discussing historical examples of disassembly and reverse engineering accompanies the images.
"The idea is to show how even what look like the most complex objects can be broken down and, ultimately, understood," McLellan said."Each photo is an exploration of modern and old technologies -- the efficiency of the former and the quality and intrinsic beauty of the latter."But McLellan's teardowns aim to be more than strikingly crafted compositions.
