THINGS COME APART

Written by Lee King

In this volume, Things Come Apart ($21) brings us unique and inspiring photographs which capture the electronic and mechanical objects from both past and present in a broken down and meticulously arranged format. This is Todd McLellan’s unique photographic vision of our material world and covers 50 design classics. These are first arranged by size and then by their intricacy, and they are quite beautifully displayed. We see them piece by piece, as well as exploding in midair and then dissected in frame by frame, real time video stills. We see through this book the inner workings of many of the most iconic designs in the world.
