# Shattertography Brock Davis Shatters Everyday Objects That Ought Not to Break By Shelby Lee Walsh | Published 2009-05-28 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brock-davis References: [cyanatrendland](http://cyanatrendland.com/2009/05/26/shattered-art-by-brock-davis/) It’s not likely you will ever see a shattered banana, Kleenex box or rubber ducky in your entire life... unless you check out the [illusionist photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/still-life-1) by Brock Davis in the gallery above. Davis is a American artist that does both photography and illustration. Most of his works include an [element of the surreal](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surreal-street-art-1), like this [shatter collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/light-into-darkness) above. Everyday objects that physically can’t shatter appear to be smashed to the ground thanks to Davis’ visionary eyes. The result is quite trippy. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.0/10 - Popularity: 33% | Activity: 18% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/photography) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Illusion Art:** The trend of creating illusion art through photography or illustration can be leveraged in the advertising and entertainment industries for disruptive ad campaigns and innovative movie concepts. - **Innovative Photography:** The trend of using unique and creative photography techniques, such as shattertography, can be leveraged in the fashion and e-commerce industries for disruptive product photography and experiential online shopping. - **Surrealism:** The trend of incorporating surreal elements in art can be leveraged in the interior design and home decor industries for disruptive decor styles and unique product offerings. ### Where This Applies - **Advertising:** The advertising industry can leverage shattertography and illusion art to create disruptive ad campaigns and grab audience attention in new and innovative ways. - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can leverage innovative photography techniques to create disruptive product photography that highlights unique features and offers a more immersive online shopping experience. - **Interior Design:** The interior design industry can leverage surrealism and shattertography to create unique decor styles for homes and businesses, offering customers truly one-of-a-kind design options. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Broken-Aesthetic Sculpture Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brokenaesthetic-sculpture-collection.md) - [Crystal-Adorned Crushed Cans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sam-keller.md) - [Surreal Love-Themed Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/joakim-ojanen.md) - [Light-Refracting Glass Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/look-mum-no-uv.md) - [Digital Archetype Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/christian-rex-van-minnen-1.md) - [Illusion-Inspired Design Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ripples-collection.md) - [Artful Anime-Blending Split Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/split-bust.md) - [Sculptural Paper Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fragmenti.md) - [Explosion-Damaged Sculpture Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/light-into-darkness.md)
