Leo Adef archive; unreleased screening [‘60]

31 JUL; 01 AUG
berlin, germany

[ ] rsvp + information in bio

built with @spiritual.technologies

A 60’ cut of Leo Adef’s videotape archives. Spanning eight years of intimate encounters, the film-based essay explores the dual face of vulnerability as a driving state to sustain, as fragile as it is potent.

Both a fragment and a continuum, the project moves under the pulse of reaching from individual universes the matter for sense-making and sense-breaking perception: of the self, the bodily, its surroundings, and the intrinsic grief of probing through all three.

Encompassing queer experiences across Berlin, Kyiv,Buenos Aires, Athens, São Paulo, Barcelona, Prague, and Warsaw, Leo Adef’s act of editing links the dots between outward expression and inward articulation—beyond the tyranny of time-space.

[ ] about the event

The berlin encounters will serve as a coordinate that mirrors the project's promise: to remain open to both the forces of fast-paced transformation and deep-degree vulnerability.

By holding space for screenings followed by integrations among a limited number of guests, the ongoing exploration shifts from belonging to them alone to becoming theirs—and boundless from each there and then.

A meta-image of the archive itself, the closed-door iterations of Leo Adef’s cuts aim to enrich the body of work by facing intimacy with intimacy.

Tranquila, performed by Perla Zúñiga & @vera.amores

In Vera’s words, Tranquila is an ode to friendship and to the power it holds to soothe moments of deepest uncertainty and distress, especially those involving illness and death.

If you haven’t seen this video-poem yet, I highly recommend taking a moment to let yourself be embraced and softened by the strength of this piece. Link is my bio.

Words from this extract:

the sky will still be the sky
in Berlin it’s still gonna be cold
and you can’ t do any more
so
I propose
then
I propose
not to wait for
not to wait for
and melt
into metal.

This Sunday, March 22, I’ll be part of a collective screening organized by @videoclubworld, in collaboration with @spore.initiative, for their new edition Lost & Found: Archiving Eternal Fragilities in Berlin.

Together with 16 artists from different parts of the world, I’ll share fragments from my archive, an expanding constellation of over 200 hours of intimate queer encounters recorded over 9 years on videotapes across Latin America and Europe.

彡 G̅e̅o̅d̅a̅ emerges from fractures, shaped through successive, layered formations that continuously transform over time. Inscribed on magnetic tapes, it becomes a living archive, intertwining shared intimacy, performance, and encounters between bodies and landscapes.
