SLOW FAST FOOD RESTAURANT

STUDIO SWINE

Welcome to the fictional fast food restaurant designed to slow down the experience of preparing and eating food. Slowness dictates its architecture. The work proposes that diners are taken on a journey to pick vegetables and bake buns, constructing a hamburger before reaching the dining table. The act of consuming a hamburger is transformed into a ritualistic ceremony. What you take away is up to you.

“The degree of slowness is directionally proportional to the intensity of memory. The degree of speed is directionally proportional to the intensity of forgetting.” — Milan Kundera, The Book of Laughter and Forgetting
