A photographer exploded a bunch of supercars to show what's inside
Fabian Oefner thought about becoming a car designer. But he decided he was better suited for art.
"I found out there are too many other things that I like better, so I chose a different path," Oefner said in an interview.
The Swiss artist is best known for his "Disintegrating" photos, which show super cars exploding into hundreds of parts.

"It's a combination between love of cars and … the idea of stopping time," Oefner said.
Oefner says he selected standout cars from history to feature in the shots. As for why he chose older models: "The technology is more appealing to the human eye when you look at the older cars." Plus, he says, "it's very difficult to get the models from newer cars."
"Disintegrating - Part II," a follow-up to a 2013 batch, is currently on display at M.A.D. Gallery spaces in Taipei and Geneva. See some highlights below.
