This image is part of the series Confiscating Skies, created during the quiet in-between moments from March 2020 to December 2021.
The collages merge analog photographs of skies captured on past travels with digital images taken indoors.
In doing so, the home transforms into an ambiguous space where boundaries dissolve: inside and outside, virtual and physical, reality and dream.
Dora Lionstone is a visual artist who graduated from the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in 2020 with a BA in Photography and has previously worked as a Software Engineer in Germany with an Msc in Media Informatics. Her work has been exhibited in various international exhibitions, such as FOAM or MYOTA PHOTO. She is a FRESH EYES Talent 2021, Runner-Up of the OD Photo Prize 2022 and a recipient of the Mondriaan Artist Start Grant for 2022. She is the co-founder of SPROUT PUBLISH and based in Amsterdam, NL.
Influenced by her background in software engineering, Dora Lionstone sees the image as a system that can be cracked, taken apart and reassembled differently. This continuous (re-)construction of reality is explored by the artist’s use of collages and other image transformations. Her process involves a combination of various techniques such as analog photography, digital manipulation and animation next to the creation of objects, installations and text. By using multiple methods and points of view, she aims to extend the boundaries of the rigid binary world, merging fact and fiction, science and art.
