At the 19th International Architecture Exhibition - La Biennale di Venezia, Egypt's pavilion presents "Let's Grasp the Mirage," exploring sustainability through the lens of the Egyptian oasis. Curated by Salah Zikri and others, the exhibit reflects on balancing conservation and development, resonating with the Biennale's theme of intelligence—natural, artificial, and collective. The installation features an interactive game where visitors balance blocks representing conservation and development, highlighting the complexities of sustainability. As interactions occur, the environment responds with changes in light and sound, creating a dynamic experience that illustrates the importance of collective knowledge in addressing ecological challenges.
The pavilion proposes the oasis as a microcosm, a self-sustaining yet vulnerable environment that parallels the global struggle to maintain ecological balance.
The installation invites visitors to partake in a metaphorical game of balance, challenging them to create equilibrium between conservation and development through interactive blocks.
