About this artwork
In the SEAmaps (here especially the islands), the love of the sea, the collecting of old maps and nautical charts, the fascination for ships and ports are combined with the desire to travel and the joy of "getting lost" - in foreign lands, past times, somewhere between cities, countries, islands and oceans.
At first glance, the SEAmaps appear like maps, with strange, sometimes familiar shapes of cities, countries, and continents, but in impossible… combinations. Layer upon layer, these are superimposed; much happens at the edges, along the coasts, but just as much – just as in the sea itself – takes place beneath the surface.
Just as ancient nautical charts were adorned with images of ships, gods, weather events, and demons, these maps feature people, objects, and depictions that SEAmaps bring into the present. "For me, land and sea charts are simultaneously abstract and yet 'true' representations of the world.

« 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.
