From an early stage in her career, Dichgans began to develop a personal pool of recurring motifs: everyday items such as handbags, banknotes and spectacles drawn from what she calls the ‘debris of life.’ In her maps series she adds a cacophony of further pictures and images collected on a trip round the world. Crowding a host of personal and local symbolism into the lines of the map, she builds up continents full of cultural and sub-cultural references which jostle for our attention. By doing so, she injects the familiar shape of the map with subversive and disorientating new values, removing traditional keys and legends to foreground cultural and political images over geographical or topographical information. .
