Laura Pawela is a multidisciplinary artist whose work is driven by the concept
of the imagination as a filter for reality. Her diverse practice includes
video, sculpture, drawing, installation, and other time-based works.
Pawela’s practice deals with a myriad of themes, often associated with the exploration of the artist’s identity and functioning, the impact of personal history on the creative process. It also deals with topics such as utopian ideas, the influence of politics on artistic activity or the functioning of the mechanisms of oppression. Her works also deal with multiple realities suggested by the characterisation of contemporary society as an Information Age, and the interaction of the fictional, the virtual and physical.
