fabian oefner: black hole – paint modeled by centripetal forceimage courtesy fabian oefner
‘black hole’, the series of images by swiss artist fabian oefner demonstrate sequences of paint modeled by centripetal force. the setup is utilizes a drill and a high-speed camera capable of creating flashes as short as a 1/40000 of a second. to photograph the moment, a sensor is connected to the drill, which sends an impulse to the flashes – freezing the motion of the paint. the various shades of the acrylic splashes are then immediately captured in detail when switched on – creating a black-hole effect that contrasts against the vibrant spraying forms.
