The Islands, and all the more so the deserted island, is a extremely poor or weak notion from the point of view of geography.
This is to it’s credit. The range of islands has no objective unity, and deserted islands have even less. The deserted island may indeed have extremely poor soil. Deserted, the island may be a desert, but not necessarily. The real desert is uninhabited only insofar as it presents no conditions that by rights would make life possible, weather vegetable, animal, or human. On the contrary, the lack of inhabitants on the deserted island is a pure fact due to the circumstance, in the other words, the island’s surroundings. The island is what the sea surrounds. What is deserted is the ocean around it.

It is by virtue of circumstance, for other reasons that the principle on which the island depends, that the ships pass in the distance and never come ashore.”
(from: Gilles Deleuze, Desert Island and Other Texts, 1953-74)

The research articulated through videos, photographs, drawings, sculptures, audio works, interviews, maquetts is an attempt to offer “a poetic and conceptual cartography” of the last free spaces in the Mediterranean.

Desermed tries to visualize through the interaction between traditional technology and innovative digital media, what is invisible in the belief of the strength of the interaction between different modes of representation.
