This Fast Food Kitchen is Made Entirely Out of Wood

Roxy Paine

Fast food joints have many recognizable features, like deep fryers and soft drink dispensers. Chances are most customers don’t think of this as a beautiful scene, but artist Roxy Paine has transformed it into one. In fact, she’s given us an intimate view of a fast food kitchen through her wood-carved replica.

Made entirely from maple and birch wood, Paine’s installation features everything from ordering screens and a coffee station to smaller details like plates and french fry containers. The intricate woodwork resembles a sort of empty shell devoid of any life, thus the name “Carcass.”
