The history of the extinct island of Ada Kaleh reminds us of the background story of Jia Zhang-Ke’s Still life: a hydroelectric plant whose construction destroys the surrounding towns, with the excuse of the unlimited need for energy. The case of this Turkish island had a similar fate with its disappearance during the 70’s. The idea of ??a ghost or a submerged island is represented by Wittman in the beginning of her short film with a wall where the humidity has left traces of a kind of map with the remains of paint that cling to the surface, while a mandarin voice talks about people in search of territory in a poem. The invented map of an imaginary island, the pccult map of a submerged island, with people floating in its nonexistence, a map that seems to show countries that do not welcome the wondering ghosts, because they cannot be determined.
