Created in collaboration with Katinka De Jonge, Laurens Mariën and Marie Malingreau.

Rooted in the social housing complex of Sint-Maartensdal, this project stemmed and flourished throughout the entire city of Leuven. Inhabitants and organisations adopted and harvested the ingredients of fries with mayonnaise, including potatoes, sunflowers for sunflower oil, mustard, eggs and onions for the sauce and salt from the sea. Together, a nomadic garden was formed and the iconic dish of Belgium was served.

This is a project about food production, slowness, human and environmental ecologies ... and also about hope.

During this time we organised workshops, an interactive exhibition and a symposium on green structures, growth processes and (urban) agriculture.

In 2023, we created a short film reflecting on the project in an attempt to discuss participatory practices and the (sometimes challenging) intricacies of social artistic projects.
