Liron Knoll is a photographer working and living in London. Creatint images that feel emotionally resonant, her practice often draws on the visual language of family photography, using fabrication and reconstruction to explore how images shape memory. ‘Between Waters’ explores the tension between solitude and presence within a familiar yet unsettling environment. Reflecting on her experience as an immigrant, the public pool was a significant place for her growing up while for her children it holds a much smaller, more occasional presence. Encountering the lidos in the UK stirred a quiet sense of dissonance and heightened feelings of foreignness and solitude. The work is constructed through photomontage using original photographic material with her son as the model. Collecting architectural details, surfaces, water textures, figures, and reflections, her compositions are carefully stitched and shaped. The resulting image is built rather than captured, allowing time, place, and memory to fold into one another.

‘Who are you?

I’m Liron Kroll, a London-based artist working with photography and moving images.

What is your creative area of expertise?

I work across photography, photomontage, animation, and immersive installations, exploring

memory, identity, femininity, and photographic authenticity through constructed images.

Main inspiration

Family photography, personal history, and the tension between what feels authentic and what is

constructed, especially in how images shape memory over time.

Tell us a little bit about the work you chose to share

Between Waters explores a liminal state between past and present, belonging and displacement.

It holds a moment of suspension, where identity remains fluid and unresolved.

What is your work process?

I work intuitively and slowly, using photography in a digital construction process until the image

feels emotionally precise.
