Photographer Spends Eternity Waiting For Museum Visitors To Match Artworks And The Result Is Worth The Wait

Portraits by Gabriela Mendez . 17′

Located behind a  Opera House in Budapest sits Hunger King, a installation by the artist Jani Leinonen,  which diverts the famous fast food brand into a cynical criticism of capitalism. During the three-week long installation individuals who are in financial need have the ability to wait in the succession around the building for six hours and in turn will receive 3,400 forints (around £9 or $13.60 US) in a burger box for their trouble. This would be the same amount of money they would have made by working a minimum wage job in Hungary. All while, those who self-identify as rich can skip the line, walk up the red carpet and purchase cardboard burgers for 600,000 forints (£1,560 or $2357.39 US).
