*Skin Fields* is a photobook of remarkable emotional depth in which Àlex Domènech explores intimacy, desire and identity through a deeply human perspective. Built around photographs made between 2018 and 2024 in countries including Iran, Syria, Lebanon, Kyrgyzstan, Morocco and Spain, the project ventures into spaces where expressions of affection and sexual diversity coexist with environments shaped by repression, conflict and uncertainty. Rather than relying on a narrative driven by drama, Domènech focuses on quiet gestures of closeness, shared vulnerability and the body's ability to become a place of refuge in the face of external hostility. His photographs move between portraiture, landscape and detail, creating a visual narrative in which vulnerability becomes a powerful act of resistance. The sequencing of the book unfolds naturally, establishing a delicate balance between moments of silence, tension and tenderness. Each photograph speaks to the next, creating an immersive experience that invites the viewer to reflect on the boundaries between the public and the private, between what can be revealed and what must remain hidden in order to survive. The carefully considered design reinforces this sense of intimacy, allowing the narrative rhythm to accompany the emotional journey proposed by the work. More than a project about the LGBTQ+ community, *Skin Fields* is a universal reflection on desire, freedom and the need to find spaces where one can exist without fear. Àlex Domènech creates a visual language of remarkable sensitivity and maturity, transforming deeply personal experiences into images with universal resonance. The result is a moving, poetic and courageous photobook that confirms the author as one of the most compelling voices in contemporary documentary photography.…

Skin Fields is a visceral, contemporary photobook that imagines the body as a site of emotional, psychological, and social inscription. Rooted in Domènech's ongoing investigation into intimacy and identity, the work presents a series of images that traverse the boundaries between vulnerability and desire, presence and absence. Emerging from a practice shaped by documentary photography and photobook storytelling, Skin Fields reflects the artist's interest in lived experience and the traces left by time, memory, and personal transformation. With an essay from Pol Guasch, the photographs construct a visual language that merges poetics with raw immediacy, inviting viewers into deeply personal yet universally resonant spaces. The photos in this book were taken in Iran, Kyrgyzstan, Lebanon, Morocco, Spain and Syria between 2018 and 2024.
