Lara Varat deals with sexuality, gender identity and expression, and spatial manifestations of queer culture. While constructing photographic narratives, she’s particularly interested in exploring the possibilities of staged photography and auto fiction. In Desire Paths she’s focused on exploring contemporary queer sexuality and staging the queer body as an object of desire by using the spatial phenomenon of the desired path, both literally – showing the traces of Zagreb's cruising zones – and metaphorically – connecting it to the concepts of freedom and indomitability.
