In his latest series, entitled Black Hole, Fabian drips various shades of acrylic paint onto a metallic rod which is connected to a drill. When switched on, the paint starts to move away from the rod, creating the amazing spiral structures seen below.
 
The motion of the paint happens in the blink of an eye. The images are taken a mere millisecond after the drill is turned on. To capture the moment, Oefner connects a sensor to the drill which sends an impulse to his flashes. These specialized units are capable of creating flashes as short as a 1/40000 of a second, freezing the motion of the paint that quickly splatters against the wall.
