« Wanderlust and curiosity drive me on and the only way not to get lost is to survey the imaginary world. I am the cartographer of our longing places. »
In the SEAmaps, Schäfer's love of the sea, her collection of old land and sea maps, her fascination for ships, containers and ports are combined with her love of travel and the joy of "getting lost" - in foreign places, past times, somewhere between cities, countries, islands and oceans.
Her central approach is collage - dismantling, assembling, combining elements from other contexts and integrating them into new perspectives, scenes and actions.
