Sculptor Fabian Oefner sliced and diced all kinds of ordinary objects in his latest project, reassembling them to give us a unique view of the familiar. Titled “Heisenberg Objects,” the collection features six objects – two shoes, a camera, a black box, a clock, and a tape recorder – that the

Heisenberg Objects, Fabian Oefner (previously) translates quantum mechanic’s uncertainty principle into a sculptural series of segmented objects. The Connecticut-based artist uses resin to solidify the everyday items, which include sneakers, a Leica M6, a tape recorder, a Seiko clock, and flight recorder, before slicing them into countless individual pieces. He then aggregates those fragmented parts into dissected sculptures that resemble the original object through a distorted view of the inner and outer mechanisms.
Drawing its name from German physicist Werner Heisenberg, the series is rooted in the basics of the uncertainty principle, which states that no two particles can be measured accurately at exactly the same time. “You can either determine one parameter and ignore the other or vice versa, but you can never know everything at once,” the artist writes about Heisenberg’s idea. The two opposing views i.e. the inner and outer layers of the common items converge in

Sony Japan has put out a notice (translated) informing consumers the release date for its FE 35mm F1.4 GM lens has been delayed.
Announced on January 13, the Sony FE 35mm F1.4 GM was initially scheduled for release in mid-February (Sony Japan specifically notes a February 12 release date). However, due to âproduction reasons,â the release has been pushed back to a yet-to-be-announced date.
Sony Japan apologizes for the inconvenience for those who have pre-ordered the lens and says it will announce the next release date âas soon as it is confirmed.â
The current listing for the Sony FE 35mm F1.4 GM lens on B&H suggests units will start shipping on February 22.

Swiss photographer Fabian Oefner specializes in dissecting objects and photographing them in stunning detail. His work is meticulously and thoughtfully crafted. One of Oefner s more famous series, Disintegrating, features images of performance cars seemingly being blown apart. Fabian s latest project, Heisenberg Objekt No. III, features a sliced up Leica M6 rangefinder camera.
Oefner s primary material for his latest project is, of course, a Leica M6. A used M6 can be found for around $2,500. He then covered the camera in a resin block and then used a bandsaw to cut the block into its requisite parts.
Once Oefner had made his careful cuts, he assembled the pieces into a beautiful sculpture. The sculpture is held together using pieces of brass.
