Happy End of Everything’ includes a bar, a smoking table and a cooking installation where people can eat, drink and smoke without limits. However, each part of the installation is also destructive. The cooker contains an ‘Incinerator’, an incinerator with such a high temperature that everything evaporates. The drinks and smoking table contains a ‘Drop Hammer’ that shatters everything into dust. The final component is the ‘Pyrolyzer’, a mobile refinery that makes diesel and oil from collected plastic waste.
