Urbonaitė’s project "State of Shame" addresses the relationship between the suspect, cloaked with the presumption of innocence, the photographer, who milks his spectacle and the mass audience, which till nowadays enjoys the aspects of public shaming. This relationship is examined through found images taken during the court session in the countries where media is still allowed to publish the image of the suspect before his guilt is proven. The images are later altered by isolating the shapes of suspects from the contextual surrounding. Each shape is the result of an effort to conceal one's own identity by shrinking the body or merging with objects available at the spot. The dummy of this publication received the special mention at Luma Rencontres Dummy Book Award 2018.
