Dora Lionstone

Runner-Up | OD Photo Prize 2022

The OD Photo Prize is an annual prize devoted to discovering and nurturing the next generation of photographic artists. The Judges highly commend Runner-Up, Dora Lionstone, whose project Nachtluftschlösser, examines the construction of thoughts and realities as well as the perception of hidden dimensions through images, installations and projections at night.

Dora Lionstone (b.1986, Potsdam, DE) is a visual artist and photographer based in Amsterdam, who graduated from the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in 2020 with a BA in Photography and a Msc in Media Informatics. Her work has been exhibited at FOAM and Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, among several other exhibitions across Europe. She was selected as FRESH EYES European Talent 2021 and GUP New Talent in 2021 and received the Artist Start grant from the Mondriaan Fund for 2022. Her work is driven by a fascination for ambiguity, logic and the surreal. She challenges the clear-cut perception of reality with multiple coexisting and often contradicting perspectives while searching for deeper layers beyond the surface. Influenced by her background in software engineering, Lionstone sees the image as a system that is waiting to be cracked, taken apart and reassembled differently.
