To criticize reality you have to suggest a different reality. Someone said that before. In the case of Paulina Olowska she definitely creates a new reality with her drawings. She refers to commercial advertisementfrom old magazines. It is not only the clothes and the colors, it is also the pose and the atmosphere of the ’70. Looking at the ideology of those years and how it was expressed, her works resemble to the past without nostalgia.
