“WARP is the materialization of a documentary project in which I have been working between 2018 and 2021. As a queer person, I am in the constant seek of my identity, questioning who I think I am and exploring who I can become. But I realized that this is a process that can not be done alone and in this search for my identity I met different people that have taught and inspired me, and with whom I have shared enriching and unforgettable experiences.
This book captures all these moments and the people, that just by being who they are, have taught me much more than what they are aware of and have inspired me to immortalize them in this publication. I hope that as it happened to me, this project can inspire people that were feeling like I did before doing it.” – Leo Adef

Leo Adef (1990) is an Argentinian film director and photographer based in Barcelona. Their work explores identity, relationships, sexuality and intimacy, portraying their community and the people who inspire them, mixing documentary with fantasy. Their work mutates as Leo grows, they deconstruct and learn from the people they met and allow them to portray them. Their tale is torrid and delicate visual poetry that captures realities that escapes the heteronormative. Leo has been working over 8 years in diverse projects in which they experiment with different media and formats: short films, music videos, documentaries, fashion films and in this 2021 they present WARP, their first photographic book, their most significant and personal project yet.
