This is DigestDine Delight Savor Spectacle, and it started off with the realization that we can’t give up grease forever. Maccas large chips for $4, KFC go-bucket in between vray renderings, don’t get me started with Schnitz freshly deepfried chips seasoned with chicken salt and intensely crisped with their PHO oil… It’s cheap, it’s convenient, and most importantly it’s such a banger that it’s such a guilty pleasure at the same time. Big, greedy corporations, are winning so much. We get good food, but good grease? Yuck to our liver, RIP our consumption pattern… Cholesterol’s on the way… ready for a heart attack… We as grease consumers win and lose at the same time. DigestDine Delight Savor Spectacle is a food court, as greasy as it gets, spanning 18 stories high, and, like, literally, resembles the whole gut system: stomach, intestine, liver, mouth, the asshole…. … the one thing you see as you approach this food court along Swanston Street exactly at 12 p.m. on your 9-5 job lunch break. As you approach in, the throat, the foyer, leads up to the grand entrance facing north to Queensberry Street, has its tongue just slightly sticking out politely, rather awkwardly, to the pedestrian sidewalk. You are now in the mouth, shadowed by the massive concrete mass, surrounded by water fountains. It’s like when you’re so hungry that your mouth starts watering. The sandstone tiling tongue is referenced from Frank Lloyd Wright’s circular tiling on the Guggenheim… which embodies the papillated texture of the tongue but rationalized. As you climb through the escalator going up, you are in the intestine. The Guggenheim reference. White, the slightly pinkish undertone of the reinforced concrete structure. Like the existing program, this is a continuous gallery ramp exhibiting imitation food. It’s like reading a menu before ordering your food at a restaurant. And as you walk your way up through the ramp, there is this urge to keep on going, like how the muscles in the intestines contract and consistently push out food… On your way up you are surrounded by the echoing sounds of people chewing on the floating ASMR platforms… the crunch, the much, the chomp, the gulp… The Guggenheim skylight is crushed into the gallery base as tilings and instead pinnacled with the stomach and the liver.
You are now in the stomach. The galvanized steel glazed interior, formed with concave and convex ceilings, further exaggerates the reflections of the sizzling sounds from the kitchen. Polished concrete flooring with visible pores that tingle your buds. Orange tinted crinkled cut window, transmitting caramel-colored lighting. It’s both greasy and stomachey. On top level heading to the rooftop food court, there is a massive exhaust vent - seemingly the esophagus, pointing out to the north, that doubles as a light source and of course, an air vent to balance out the experience of being digested in a stomach full of acidic chemical reaction. The ASMR platforms are the extension of the stomach dripping down, interfering with the Guggenheim’s intestine. You eat whatever you want, get it recorded, and listen to your own sounds of you chewing that greasy, crispy fried chicken from the knock-off KFC brand. The liver is another food court, but more enclosed and less chaotic… More dense. More controlled with more partition walls. Just like how the liver controls the fat in our metabolism. But getting sucked into this gourmet galore through the rectum probably would not help with any revolution we have seen, or proposed. This food court stems from the pessimistic revolution I, strangely, truly, believe in… The way the greasy food industry completely changed our consumption pattern, we are driving ourselves to go downhill… but the ones who just keep us going… the tiny little cells in our bodies, the gnarly, muscley contracting organs in our digestive system are metabolizing itself for us, to keep us alive… to eat more grease… 3
