Still Life (For Use) presents three identical glasses on a fake silver plate, accompanied by a simple water pitcher. The first glass lies untouched, fully ready for use. The second has its upper half cast in resin, rendering it entirely unusable. The third has its lower half cast: technically functional but awkward to handle. By partially immobilizing these objects, the work changes their ontological status. The untouched glass remains ready-to-hand (Zuhandenheit), a tool whose being is absorbed in use. The resin-coated glasses shift toward present-at-hand (Vorhandenheit), their materiality and being revealed precisely through obstruction. The contrast between ready, hindered, and awkwardly functional exposes the tension between potential and actual use, and how estrangement transforms ordinary objects into contemplative presences. The simple water pitcher points to intended use, emphasizing the gap between function and being, and inviting reflection on desire, habit, and our assumptions about the everyday.
