This is a disaster caught in freeze-frame, the above image is not a computer render but a real 3D object. Tel Aviv-based artist Eyal Gever uses software to simulate catastrophes on screen (in this case a to buses crashing) and then turns the most compelling frames into 50cm resin models, using a £215,000 Objet 3D printer.
