Video and materic installation investigating  the Mediterranean Sea as a highly geopolitical object. Interdisciplinary approaches highlight the oppressive effects that hegemonic narratives and arbitrary representations enforce over Mediterranean waters, and over the freedoms of the bodies there to be encountered.

Contemporary representations of the Mediterranean Sea are split between aestheticised representations and arbitrary atrocities. Cultural Hegemonies and Economically-driven forces expose bodies to death, whilst multitudes of designed representation aid  the management of capital, means, and populations. Mare Incognitum inquires what, within this underworld of networks, allows one to be considered human.

Bringing  research into a diverse and different aspects of public and private life, the project challenges detatched recognition of the early pandemic situation and creates spaces for discussion around the links between shame and responsibility within shifting cultural landscapes.

The publication follows the false narratives provided by media and government, and proposes – through a vast use of infographic and textual elements – a juxtaposed factual narration of the events.
