Lightbox graphics are part of a larger series included in Laura Pawela’s project Reallaura (2002–2004). Employing the format of a reality show, the artist regularly sent to a number of people visual news, illustrating events in her life. The simplified form of the graphics was adjusted for the limitations of mobile phone displays at the time. The condensed content built up a formulaic picture of the life of the protagonist. The project related directly to modern forms of communication, which make human inter-relationships more superficial.
