‘disassembly’ by canadian photographer todd mclellan is a series of images capturing old relics of our past in its dismantled form. including items such as a typewriter, push lawn mower and a rotary phone, the collection delineates the astounding intricacies and craft of these mechanical objects. every piece and component are positioned in an almost obsessive-compulsive arrangement – by type, size, function – resulting in a clear portrait of an era that we have seemingly left behind.
