  The purpose of this article is to contextualise an unpublished document Tate Jukka and Pekka (2016) with the concept of text collage to enable re-visioning and returning to the document beyond the semantic and written content. Therefore, I will look at the construction of the document, identify and describe the typographic layout and discuss the document as a method of both designing and writing. One key concept has been researched and identified which is text collage and the document will be discussed as text collage and connected to the canon thereof with samples of similar works. The results of document construction, writing and designing show that the ready-made textual fragments used in Tate Jukka and Pekka (2016) open audiences a new typographic potential to understand and imagine the societal production of texts in both writing and visualisation of writing. Therefore, text collage is not only a visual and formal device, but it is used as a magnet to draw the audiences closer to reading the strangely written text that is composed of textual fragments. All this with a purpose of being offered the document as an alternative space, that is open for interpretation. Therefore, a text collage and materiality of typography can be seen as a door to re-envision ready-made texts anew and from there on, to reimagine societies on a larger scale anew.
