Over het boek
“Fast is good, slow is bad”… Fast is a new deity in the modern pantheon, which includes other gods, such as “greed”, “gluttony”, and “lust” as some of Fasts’ fellow immortals.
This book is part of a collection of pieces from Jabardo's FastContainers project. Recognizing that the book is undergoing a metamorphosis and that more and more people read from a screen, this project uses books as objects, as containers that you can conceptually recycle.
Technological advances in the production of the book (digital-book) have meant that anyone can edit and produce a printed book, and feel the psychological status of being an author.
FastContainers books transform the book into conceptual art. The book retains its original form with pages and a cover, but in FastContainers the time to decode (read) changes. Now there is an "instantaneous decoding”. FastContainers books communicate single concepts, instant ideas the reader can consume; throw away, and keep on eating.

His graphic works include scenic situations representing the drama and the contradiction of life. They are like a play in which the actors and characters have escaped in search of their roles. Jabardo is a natural impulse translator. In his work his style is continuously changing as his concepts evolve. Jabardo’s work has spanned from the creation of corporate identities, illustrations and 3D Animations for TV-programs and commercials to animated short films exhibited in festivals in Europe and North and South America, all the way to paintings shown in galleries in and around Atlanta.
