4. Photography
Levensloop is a project Jelena Bondt made together with photographer and filmmaker Yana Engelbrecht.

The project shows the pre-collection of the collection 'Wie Nimmer het Nest Verlaat". 

The title "Levensloop" (Life cycle) is depicted here by three different generations, just like the collection itself.

A young boy, a young adult and a grown up/father.

It captures a life. As well in the pictures as in the garments.

Profile

Jelena Bondt is a fashion and costume designer with a big interest in film and photography. 
She often bases her work on a certain thought, feeling or emotion, on a fear (fear of death, fear of loss, fear of loneliness, fear of growing up)
or the feeling of wanting to keep things close by collecting or hoarding.

She practices photography and makes films and designs based on a lot of these same concepts.
