Mock wild
with CGG and Eugene Kalinouski
MOCK WILD: EGYPT (ver. 1.0) uses speculative images, videos, and recipes to imagine, taste & debate hybrid landscapes and cuisines. Within Egypt there are currently various approaches—at different scales and stages—for transitioning desert into agricultural land.
MOCK WILD: EGYPT imagines a near future where disparate greening projects, historic land-use and ecological farming approaches overlap, forming layered landscapes of intensive human and non-human activity. This first version of the project uses databases of taste and data-driven dreaming to map, cook and depict a near-future regional food system that consists of hybrid approaches to food sovereignty and land use.
Finally coming to an envisioned new farm of the future
Showing the urban sprawl overlayed with the agricultural land and the massive outline of the New Delta project

The series of map were poetically combining different layers of information, starting from the birds migration on a global scale, and gradually zooming in to local scale of the New Delta project in Nile delta, Egypt.
