Career
Lubondo studied communication and visual arts at the Académie des Beaux-Arts in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Her Imaginary Trip series, first produced in 2016, "involves using abandoned areas left to nature to produce scenes and reconstructions. The purpose of these photographs is not just to keep the memory of these places alive, but to shed new light on their past and explore their meaning in today's societal context." In 2018, she used a residence at the Musée du Quai Branly – Jacques Chirac in Paris to work on Imaginary Trip II.{{cite web|url=https://www.quaibranly.fr/en/collections/all-collections/photography-at-the-museum/the-photography-prize/gosette-lubondo/ |title=musée du quai Branly - Jacques Chirac - Gosette Lubondo |publisher=Quaibranly.fr |date= |accessdate=2022-09-16}}
