“We know how strong we are on the mat and that gives enough confidence. There’s no need to prove any of that to anyone; simply knowing it, is enough.”

Anthony & Neil

YEAR 2019
COLLAB RENÉE LEEUW

Anthony & Neil share a passion for Jiu-Jitsu. They were raised in the Netherlands by their Indonesian father and British mother. The brothers always felt at ease in any of these countries and at the same time it felt as if none of these places was their 'home'. For Anthony, that changed. He followed his roots to Indonesia, where he turned his passion for Martial Arts into a career. For now, Neil lives happily in The Netherlands and even though the brothers are miles apart, their connection continues to strengthen and grow.

SIBLINGS An explorative project about brothers and sisters. The relationship between siblings is probably the longest one can have in a lifetime. From a very young age, our siblings are our buddies, enemies, protectors, role models and teachers. Sometimes we can't stand them and other times we embrace them with unconditional love and compassion. In SIBLINGS, we - Iris & Renée - tell stories shared by brothers and sisters and explore what it means to be and have siblings.

“Being a brother means that you’re there for each other, always - even if you’re on the other side of the globe.”

- Anthony
