American photographer Benjamin Innes once thought about the fact that many things that people are used to perceive as something whole, in fact, consist of many elements. Inspired by this idea, the author began to disassemble a variety of objects into their component parts and photograph them, thereby showing the inner essence of familiar objects.

In the project "Separations" Ben Innes shows the viewer what the objects that surround us in everyday life are made of. After all, we know that inside the same toaster or video camera there are many different parts, but how many of us imagine how these parts look and interact with each other? The easiest way, of course, is to disassemble any mechanisms into parts: a camera, an electronic organ, a computer keyboard. But the author does not limit himself only to technique, but also touches upon the plant world in his research, disassembling roses and artichokes into leaves and petals. And it is still unknown whose structure is more complex: a mechanism created by man, or a beautiful flower, on the creation of which nature itself worked.

“I've always liked the exploded view of objects,” says Ben Innes. - This is a great way to understand the essence of an object. For example, Polaroid looks like one coherent object, but when you disassemble it, you will find many different and amazing components."
