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. 22 × 30 cm, 80p, ills. colour, linen hardcover ISBN 9789083519982 design and editing: Jurgen Maelfeyt edition of 650 November 2025
