Pilar Mata Dupont is a multi-award-winning Argentinean-Australian artist based in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. Her practice spans video, installation, performance, and photography. Using highly theatrical and cinematic methods, she uses allegory and narrative to reimagine/rework histories and classical texts and aims to create alternative readings that question the conditions of the construction of dominant narratives that shape history. 

In 2015 she won the Plymouth Contemporary Open in the United Kingdom, and a residency prize at the 19th Contemporary Art Festival Sesc Videobrasil in São Paulo, Brazil. She has shown work internationally in museums and galleries, including the Seoul Museum of Art, Seoul; Secession, Vienna; Pori Art Museum, Pori, Finland; Württembergischer Kunstverein, Stuttgart; and, as part of Rencontres Internationales film festival, the Gaîté Lyrique, Paris. In 2012, she was a recipient of a Mid-Career Fellowship from the Government of Western Australia.

In collaboration with Tarryn Gill, she participated in the Biennale of Sydney and won the Basil Sellers Art Prize in 2010. As part of multi-artform collective Hold Your Horses, she made work commissioned by the Akademie der Künste in Berlin in 2012.
