We’re transparent about that in the sponsored posts. But Leica is a current advertiser on the site. "Ah! they would exclaim, you geriatric Pillock, but what about Duchamp?" Well, I replied, he did at least make the effort to excite the senses, and engage the mind: you do neither and have to resort to a written rigmarole based on half-digested stolen ideas to even have me imagining that you've done ANY actual work or thought at all.Just an FYI, this isn’t a sponsored blog post.
Excuses, excuses I would cry, prompting infantile replies of, "Oh, and you're so perfect, I suppose!", but never mind, I would say, you cannot sucessfully represent literal and conceptual ideas, however good they are, visually, because ideas simply do not translate with stills and static objects. I had, years ago, several students who regularly presented very, very, bad, boring work, and they would then seek to justify it on all kinds of philosophical and conceptual grounds. Why not, when rich people are dumb, sell them your 'art', as 'everything is relative' and 'there are no absolute values' are the paradigms here. I sit sometimes with my wife and we watch people buying this kind of 'art', like rusty old 150kg iron block sprayed randomly with colors and named 'The Spring Feelings' for 1'500CHF. Just call a PoS/trash/garbage "art" and get noticed: people here will buy it, the uglier, the better. It is actually somehow: art to sell crap for millions. In other countries it's called 'criminal', here it's art. The city Zurich bought in 2014 an old nonfunctional rusty trashed crane for 600'000CHF (!!!) - when you don't believe it, just google it, it's called "Der Hafenkran". You can sell a trashcan with metal horns and call it 'metal cow' and it will sell for 1'200CHF under one hour - unfortunately it's not just an example, I've watched it really happened.
This is very swiss-like, to cut a Leica with a band-saw and get paid for this "art". Oefner shared a behind the scenes video on Instagram. In addition to the Leica M6 sculpture he made using resin, Oefner also built a few models using plaster, which you can see below. The more accurately you see one view, the less clearly you see the other.' As an observer, you are never able to observe the object as a whole and its inner workings simultaneously. However, if you start to get closer to observe its inner workings, the shape of the object starts to get distorted and vanishes completely.
III from a distance, you can easily identify the object. Oefner continues, 'When you look at the Heisenberg Objekt No. The more accurately we know one of the parameters, the less accurately we know the other.' III,', which is inspired by the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, Oefner writes, 'In the field of quantum mechanics, there is a law, which says that we cannot measure the position and the velocity of a particle at the same time. The sculpture is held together using pieces of brass. Once Oefner had made his careful cuts, he assembled the pieces into a beautiful sculpture. He then covered the camera in a resin block and then used a bandsaw to cut the block into its requisite parts. A used M6 can be found for around $2,500. Oefner's primary material for his latest project is, of course, a Leica M6. III,' features a sliced up Leica M6 rangefinder camera. Fabian's latest project, ' Heisenberg Objekt No. One of Oefner's more famous series, ' Disintegrating,' features images of performance cars seemingly being blown apart. His work is meticulously and thoughtfully crafted. Swiss photographer Fabian Oefner specializes in dissecting objects and photographing them in stunning detail.
