We love the curated destruction that this series ‘Fugue’ by Optical Arts undertakes.

By perfectly timing the same action but with different objects, we see choreographed smashing in beautiful slow motion.

Set to Fugue in A major by Dmitri Shostakovich, the music gives a unique characteristic to the dramatic action on display.

A colorful fabric sculpture in shades of pink and yellow, dynamically stretched and suspended, creating an abstract form against a neutral background.

The beautifully arranged objects include fruit, eggs, wood, scarves, and more, each one responding to the pendulum smash in satisfying ways.

The timed choreography gives us a seamless view of the destruction.
