StiLLLife: Practice 018-019》
StiLLLife: Practice 002 employs fruit crates, molded pulp trays, artificial fruit, and handcrafted sculptures to create a work that blurs the lines between still life, commercial display, and installation. It turns fruit from a mere photographic subject into an object that is both the image and the material, oscillating between authentic and artificial, edible and decorative, image and object.
The StiLLLife series embeds photographic fragments in resin, transforming flat images into three-dimensional objects that convey a sense of depth. Transparent surfaces, air bubbles, creases, and pigment distort the images’ clarity, making the fruit’s form shift between preservation and distortion. This work extends the artist’s investigation of still lifes, food, and the materiality of images, illustrating how images persist and evolve even after breaking away from two-dimensionality.

About the Artist
Ishtar Hsu
-
Ishtar Hsu, currently based in the Netherlands, works across photography, sculpture, and mixed-media installation. She both captures and creates still lifes. Her StiLLLife series explores the act of viewing and challenges the idea that images are only two-dimensional. The series captures the moment when “viewing” meets objects. By cutting, reassembling, and intervening with materials, the images shift from flat to three-dimensional forms, constantly evolving and encouraging viewers to linger in the act of viewing to experience their continuous transformation.
