Half jeans - not useful as jeans, as for wearing. Their purpose was to represent the new products in a wholesale environment, to show what is available in the coming season from the particular producer. Their purpose is also to save material and work output, as in halve the effort and raw material put into producing these smaples. However, after they fulfilled this one and only purpose, they have become totally redundant, a waste, and instead of representing saving on materials and work needed, they became wasteful and a problem to deal with.
In their one-leggedness, in a society where the norm is two legs, and where the requirement for coverings is to hold two legs, i appreciate them as something quite poignant in their existence. For me their usefulness is telling the truth about our wasteful culture. Objects are brought into being considering just a select - or just one - point of view. Wishing to involve all points of views in producing my objects. Impossible? I can only wish and then try to comply.
