BA (Hons) Technical Effects for Performance
Linea Stenfors was born and raised in Stockholm, the capital of Sweden. She has supervised, designed and made costumes for many large scaled productions within Swedish television, such as âSwedenâs got Talentâ and âHole in the Wallâ among many other. At London College of Fashion Linea has specialised in effect- and creature- costume, to broaden her costume making skills even further. She is well experienced within costume design, pattern cutting and tailoring and Linea is particularly good with fabricating and sculpting costumes on to the body, she is also experienced with body casting and mould making. Evolution - The End of Man Final Major Project During the summer of 2011 Linea was working on a project with the Swedish Photographer Robert Eldrim, and she mentioned her will to create something meaningful and challenging that could contribute to awake peoples awareness. They began to develop an idea of a project that would challenge the issues of our society, the issues that makes our planet and species slowly die out. Linea has designed this story, with its characters, by carefully researching the different subjects targeted. The characters have developed during a long time, and each and every one of them has a certain symbolic meaning. The goal was to challenge specific problems in our society without pointing at any specific individual or group, which is why Linea developed her own version of the human evolution. This way the problems can be targeted while avoiding stepping on someones toes. She has made all of the costumes, masks, make-up and props, using her skills within costume making and tailoring combined with her skills within technical effects. Robert has been in charge of the photography, and making the images come to life by his Photoshop skills and creative ideas. He has placed these characters into their natural environments, and made the world develop along with the characters. What we see in the images is the same man, changing appearance, that is worshipping and killing himself, as a metaphor of mankind...
