DESERTMED A project about the deserted islands of the Mediterranean
The islands, and all the more so the deserted island, is an 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 is- land 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 other words, the island’s surroundings. The island is what the sea surrounds. What is de- serted 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.“

The “blind spots” on can be divided into various groups or the European map serve as its subject typologies —although the distinctions are matter: approximately 300 uninhabited is- fluid. lands in the Mediterranean Sea. A group of artists, architects, writers and theoreti- cians traveled to forty of these often hard to reach islands in search of clues, impar- tially cataloguing information that can be interpreted in multiple ways.
A pool of photographs, drawings, and au- dio and video recordings was the result. It is an inquiry into or an attempt to create something akin to maps through sound recordings and images. Such maps exa- mine the myriad ways in which the indi- vidual islands are used and, accordingly, their significant political, economic and historical interrelationships. The notion of the deserted island as a place of retreat still functions today as the quintessen- tial vacation dream and myth for those seeking refuge from society—a place of yearning, of the production of desire, which has little to do with reality.

Natural Islands are situated off the routes of trade and tourism, and are usually eit- her difficult to access or lacking in potable water. Often they are used for grazing live- stock, beekeeping or fish farming. Many of them are minor constellations of the larger Greek and Croatian archipelagos, left deserted due to their rugged topography or lack of resources. The size varies from little more than a rocky outcropping to mountains emerging from the sea. Some of them were inhabited before the wave of emigration in the early 20th century.
Natural Park Islands
Natural Park Islands are islands desig- nated for wildlife conservation, where hu- man presence is monitored scientifically. On these islands the condition of deserti- on is desired and monitored by man. Only park guards live on such islands, defen- ding their artificial “emptiness”. Their wild state is planned and protected.
Private Islands
Islands privately owned by individuals or social entities. Access and stays are subject to the same constraints and privi- leges as any other private property.
Prison Islands
Prison Islands are islands whose features make them ideal for penitentiaries or cor- rectional institutions. Prison-like structures strictly regulate life on these islands. The different reasons for confinement have generated various architectural and urban typologies. With its specific geography, the island naturally imposes a border, preventing escape. Today certain prison islands have been abandoned entirely and only the peniten- tiary structures remain. On other islands, though the facilities have been shut down, they are still inhabited by the last remaining prisoners, awaiting the end of their sentences. Sometimes prisoners are “rehabilitated” through ecological edu- cation programs, conducted in partially self-organized communities.
Military Islands
Military Islands function as strategic outposts due to their location and the complex provisions concerning territorial waters and rights. As restricted military zones that are removed from public con- trol, these islands not only serve strate- gic and geopolitical purposes, but are also sites for military testing and various exercises. In the Mediterranean these strategically situated islands are someti- mes disputed by different countries. The military structures were often created in colonial times and reinforced during the years. of the Cold War.
Industrial Islands
Industrial Islands are islands that are eco- nomically interesting due to the presence of minerals or other commercial reasons. The respective exploration company in charge has the right to manage access to the island. Workers are admitted to the industrial island by day, but after dark it becomes deserted. Thus human pre- sence is not stable.

The Deserted Islands of the Mediterranean Map Installation, 2012 Mixed-media installation
Developing lengthwise, the installation shows an abstract map of the over 300 deserted islands of the Mediterranean aligned according to their longitude. This “table-map” displays books about the 39 islands visited so far. Conceived as a single catalogue, the books show pho- tographs and video stills of the islands, compiled without editing and without any precise narration. The islands are portray- ed both on the micro level of geological matter as well as from the macro per- spective that indicates which “types” they belong to. DESERTMED At NGBK, Berlin Deserted Typologies, 2012 7-channel video installation
The video material shot during the field research was first catalogued according to the categories in which we subdivided the visited deserted islands. For each type, a narrative was then created to re- connect it to the idea of a “macro-island”. In each video, despite being a collage from different islands, the resulting land- scape conveys the illusion of one unified place. The videos are part of a catalogue of materials that expands further as the Desertmed research proceeds. DESERTMED NGBK, Berlino Desertmed, 2012 Multi-Channel sound installation
The installation is not about deserted islands in terms of sound topography: sound doesn‘t recognize the wide spaces of geography, but resonates within narrower borders. In the organization of the sounds there‘s no hierarchy because there is no function, everything refers to a mechanism similar to the one of a bachelor machine, cavities that filter frequencies, resonate, reverberate and vibrate, because the sea pumps water that pumps air into them. Air as a resonant element, an aural utopia where sounds become abstract and freed from geography. A black box in which sound remains as mysterious and useless as a deserted island. DESERTMED At NGBK, Berlin A section of the exhibition is devoted to the research results of an expanded group of artists and practitioners from other fields, who have been cooperating with the Desertmed Collective over the past few years. The exhibited publications form a growing archive based on ongoing research projects.
