Constructing the Natural and the Unnatural

By Dennis Schafer
QuailBellMagazine.com

The basis for my collage work is to construct and assemble existing picture elements from newspapers, magazines, and print media in the traditional way: with scissors, glue and paper to make a new whole architectural image. As a result, I get to create extraordinary landscapes and surreal worlds. The resulting images should lead the viewer to places that blur the natural border between reality and fiction, and whose origin is stylistically and geographically not situated in any particular style.

Denis Schäfer was born in 1973 near Frankfurt/Main, Germany and has lived in Berlin since 1996. In addition to starting his museology studies in 2010, he began taking photographs and creating papercollages. He is particularly concerned with depth of field and perspectives in the development of his collage work.

How to Setup Solar

Step 1. Create a Homepage

Even if you already have a home page, you'll need to create a new one since Solar needs a blank page to automatically pull and display your blog posts in the magazine layout. You can create a new homepage by going to "Pages" at the top, click on the "+" icon and select "Standard" page.

Step 2. Apply "solar" Page Layout

Once you create a new homepage, apply the "solar" page layout to the new homepage. You can do this by clicking on "Pages" at the top, select the homepage on the left, and under "HEADER TYPE", select "solar".

Step 3. Create A Blog

If your site doesn't have a Weebly "Blog" page, then create a new "Blog" page. You can do this by clicking on "Pages" at the top, click on the "+" icon and select "Blog Page".

Step 4. Setup Blog Automation

Come back to this screen and fill in the input boxes with the URL of your "Blog" page and 3 category URLs from that blog.
