Gosette Lubondo
Born in 1993 in Kinshasa (DR Congo), Gosette Lubondo lives in Kinshasa. Gosette is a photographer whose work is a reflection on memory, heritage and time. Her successful two series, Imaginary Trip I and II, are set in a disused train in Kinshasa railway station (2016), and an abandoned school in Kongo central (2018). She depicts imaginary people in both cases.
Exhibited in 2020 at the musée du quai Branly-Jacques Chirac as part of the collective A toi appartient le regard (…) exhibition, in 2021 Gosette was awarded the Maison Ruinart Photography Prize at Paris Photo. Her latest series is ongoing and is called Terre de lait, terre de miel. Here, the photographer takes us to Gbadolite, the “Versailles of the Jungle”.
