Things Come Apart Todd McLellan
Todd McLellan is a master disassembler. His new book ‘Things Come Apart’ documents the technological methods of modern mass production in reverse.
By revealing the inner workings of 50 objects and 21,959 individual components, he considers the permanence of vintage machines versus today’s manufacturing trend of quick use followed by obsolescence.
The parts are photographed in a striking way – sometimes organized by function and sometimes exploded in midair as they come crashing down.
