Imagining the Lemniscate Kitchen


“She imagines a long, almost infinite kitchen, as narrow as the office corridor. The kitchen is actually located on the perimeter of a circumference that has the same radius as that of the earth. On her right the wall is an endless vending machine, full of pigeon-holes protected with a glass where all kind of delicious raw food are individually displayed. The vending wall storages, cooks and serves whatever you want. You can even order a whole menu from Arzak or Subijana, three stars restaurants.

The rigid structure of the gridded vending wall contrasts with the cluster of multi-directional domestic doors that have attached a residual office false ceiling. Depending on what meal you order a door gives you access to a particular dinning desk placed in different parts of the world. The cluster of doors has only one frame-door that, once fixed to a door, allows you to leave the kitchen.

The floor of the kitchen is a carpeted conveyor, a residual office material that covers the transporting device of a industrial food chain, that moves you through the kitchen while you check and select the products as if it were a supermarket. Once the meal is ready it brings you directly to the exit door”
