Fries Flow
Perhaps we buy Fries to save time, I kill time with Fries Flow.
In the age of Digital Era, flooding images has been forcing human to absorb and consume images passively and quickly. The act of face-paced consumption has become ordinary as if Fries are popularly known to have the obvious indexical meaning, pointing toward junk food, unhealthiness, obesity, and fast food. Fries Flow makes use of this temporal object(Fries) and creates an extraordinary space to challenge the fast-paced consumption and allows audience to form a new relationship with the object. With a repetition of movements in an absurd setting, Fries Flow stimulates the audience to digest the meaning slowly, and to think about the different possibilities of the object, to ask fundamental questions, and perhaps to daydream.
