The Leica Gallery Melbourne presents

Levin Mundinger - Fading Threads

Fading Threads reflects the fragile connection between two worlds - a nomadic culture slowly disappearing, and the threads through which artisan designers help carry it forward.

Join us in celebrating a milestone in the history of photography at the Leica Gallery Melbourne.

Levin Mundinger is a Melbourne based cinematographer and photographer. Originally from Germany, his passion for visual storytelling began early and has evolved into a practice focused primarily on filmmaking, with photography remaining an integral part of his creative process.

He works across commercial and documentary projects, often centred on people and natural, unscripted moments. Driven by strong, creative visuals, Levin brings his photographic eye into his filmmaking approach, blending cinematic storytelling with an image-led, observational style.

"Fading Threads offers a brief glimpse into the lives of nomads at 5200 metres in the Himalayan mountain ranges. Moments from their everyday lives, that is both challenging and inspiring. The children are often sent to boarding school or join the army in the hope of new opportunities, gradually reshaping the nomadic way of life.
I feel fortunate to have had this opportunity to capture and experience such a unique lifestyle and beautiful traditions." - Levin Mundinger
