Neverland is an imaginery land. Wishing to build a map seems to be a natural enterprise, but it is impossible since it precisely about showing what the book only suggest. This map represents a tiny island in the Bahamas, Gorda Cay, which had been bought by the Disney company and renamed Castaway Cay to welcome tourists. So it is this map the artist has chosen to produce, that of a hybrid space, which represents the ultimate expression of an utopia which fascinates us and evades us: Neverland.
