The Life of a Chair (2026)

The Life of a Chair is an eight-minute German experimental drama by Yannai Plaschkes. The film strips away conventional dialogue and music and focuses entirely on a chair, using the simple object and the surrounding natural world as the basis for a quiet meditation on time and observation.

Its deliberately minimal approach makes the chair the central performer while the environment supplies the film's visual and emotional context. Rather than relying on conventional dialogue-driven storytelling, the short invites viewers to interpret the changing relationship between an everyday object and the world around it.
