Gitte Schäfer stages art as material reconstruction. Found objects are recycled and arranged in a new way; old magazines function as sites for her paintings. This treatment creates an artistic situation that is unique but also saturated by memories.

A magazine from the 1970’s functioned as a model for her first retrospective catalogue. The layout was emptied and refilled with pictures and texts from Schäfer’s work. Paper type, paper change, typeface and cover resemble the original magazine.
