Burger Satiation

This video is composed entirely of Chinese characters from start to finish. Using the radicals and structure of the Chinese word “漢堡,” which means “hamburger,” it explains the fictional psychological phenomenon known as “漢堡飽和.”
This is a phenomenon in which, after staring at “漢堡” for a long time, one suddenly no longer understands what it is. It is said to be caused by neural inhibition, which prevents the brain from focusing on anything more than a part of the hamburger, causing the whole to be lost and its meaning to suddenly feel unfamiliar.
This work is one part of the animation anthology Burger Order.
