Lisa Donneson’s Irreversible Order examines how memory, aging, and cultural identity cohere into visual form. Engaging Proustian cues—the scent of coffee, the warmth of freshly baked bread, remnants of a shifting American landscape—she activates desire, loss, humour, and latent trauma as material for image-making. Her use of a performative double within domestic space foregrounds the slippages between reenactment and recollection, allowing humour to unsettle the gravity of remembered experience. Through these iterative gestures, Donneson constructs a rigorous inquiry into how the self is archived, revised, and reimagined, situating the work as an exploration of interiority shaped by time.

Lisa Donneson’s work has been exhibited at numerous galleries, including the Griffin Museum of Photography (MA), Southeast Center for Photography (SC), and Atlanta Photography Group (GA), and schools, including University of Connecticut. Her work has also been published in various magazines, such as “All About Photo - Shapes,” “F-Stop” and “Art Ascent.” Her most recent self-portrait and still lifes series won honorable mentions at the Julia Margaret Cameron awards at Fotonostrum in 2023, 2024 and 2025. She participated in art-icon in Paris and Arles and APG’s show at the Jackson-Hartsfield International Airport. Donneson made a film about the turmoil caused by the deteriorating Brooklyn Queens Expressway, “Triple Cantilevers: Grinding to a Halt,” which was broadcast on BRIC public access television and was selected by four film festivals. She collaborated with Paris-based Double magazine for their lead story in Issue 51, Spring/Summer 2026, Transaction, and her work was featured on two of their covers.
