Lorenzo Passalacqua, Last Order (PEOPLE 2026)

The kitchen slows down only on the surface. Behind the pass, time fractures: hands move faster than thought, bodies work on instinct, pressure reshapes everything. These images aren’t about food. They’re about what remains at the end of service — fatigue, focus, and the quiet madness forged by hours. Shutter drag isn’t an effect here, but a language. A way to translate speed, tension, and the constant balance between control and chaos. The blur becomes proof of presence, not absence. Hours collapse into seconds. Movements overlap. The mind keeps running even when the room finally stops. This is the last order. And the work isn’t over yet.
