05 EPHEMERAL HARVEST: THE GASTRONOMY OF MIRAGE

03/2025
Academic Work


Type: Innovative Design
‘Theatricality, Games + Meals: Collective Care’

Food + /
 

In this world, food does not grow in the traditional sense. Instead, the desert itself projects mirages of banquets, markets, and feasts, shimmering in the heat. These mirages can be harvested and consumed—but only briefly before they decay into dust, parasites, or dangerous transformations. Some mirages are nourishing; others trick the eater into starvation, hallucination, or irreversible mutation.
