Meest Verkocht Dana Lixenberg: De Wallen Amsterdam

De Wallen Amsterdam is a portrait of Amsterdam’s Red Light District, the historic neighbourhood where photographer Dana Lixenberg spent her early childhood. It offers insight into a diverse community where residents, sex workers, tourists, and others converge in relative harmony, but not always without friction. Created between 2021 and 2025, the series consists of intimate black-and-white portraits of locals, visitors, artists, sex workers, drifters, and entrepreneurs, shown alongside detailed historic interiors in colour, revealing what lies behind the facades. The book also includes stills from a video installation, part of an exhibition at the Amsterdam City Archives.
