On view at both Paul Kasmin gallery locations in New York, this body of work began in 2009, when LaChapelle learned of the break-in and vandalism of the National Wax Museum in Dublin,Ireland and was granted permission to photograph the destroyed figures. LaChapelle continued photographing figures at two additional wax museums, one in California and one in Nevada - to complete his vision of the collection.

With sunbects ranging from politicians such as Ronald Reagan, to celebrities like Leonardo Di Caprio and Michael Jackson, to the artist's depiction of The Last Supper including Judas and Mary Magdalene, Still Life presents eerie compositions of dismembered icons, expanding on the idea of Lachapelle's earlier exhibition, Earth Laughs in flowers,an exhibition of still life works exploring contemporry vanity, vice, the transience of earthly possessions and the fragility of humanity.
