Description
Bar Delicious is what everyone craves. Why else would it be so omnipresent, constantly available to fulfill the incessant desire to consume Bar Delicious? Surely, they must live in a land of plenty, those who are given to live in a land with plenty of Bar Delicious. And yet we are at odds, the moment in which we expressed that desire evasive, our relationship to the massive processes that massively produce Bar Delicious unclear.
Bar Delicious is a meditation on consumption and desire in the context of the contemporary late capitalist and technological system. In a hybrid Futurist-Primitivist visual style, these panels advocate for the oppositional liberating power of desire.
