"Promenade was born from the need to speak in silence, to explode, to free myself in order to heal through the photographic practice of self-portraiture, walking through my emotions to recognise the fragile, sad, strong and brave woman in me".
This is how Leila explained her need to place herself in front of the camera as a therapeutic process of self-knowledge, but also as a cry to share the intimacy of her state of mind. The plastic force of her images takes us into a world where the frontiers between the fantastic and the real become blurred while her protagonist urges us to decipher the secret codes that inhabit them.
Alex Llovet's edition deliberately avoids the chronological order of the photographs, taken over ten years, and proposes a metaphorical journey from darkness to light.
As Frida Kahlo said: "I paint self-portraits because I am alone a lot. I paint myself because I know myself best.
Edition of 400 copies. Pages guillotined before folding to create an irregular cut / handmade aesthetic. Tritone printing.
