What Does a Camera Look Like, If You Sand It Down Layer by Layer?


That's what a camera looks like, if you sand it down layer by layer.

Everyone at some point has wished they had x-ray vision. What could be cooler than seeing through walls and looking inside stuff? How about looking inside stuff gradually, layer by layer?


That weird superpower is just what we get in this video by Laurin Döpfner, dug up by the good folk at Colossal. Döpfner used an industrial sander to blast away at chunks of wood, cameras, nuts and more, taking snapshots every step of the way–about a hundred slices for each object. Then, he stringed the photographs together as a stop motion clip.
