Softcover with dustjacket, edition of 1500, signed.Concept by João Linneu, Myrto Steirou and Olivia Arthur.
For the past few years I have been making work about the relationship that we have to our bodies as humans. The work grew out of a fascination I developed after being pregnant and feeling my body as a machine performing an incredible task. I went on to explore intimacy, touch, physical connection, stability and the ways we use technology to enhance all those things. It became quite a journey that ended up taking me to make intimate portraits, create Muybridge-style motion series and find emotional connections with robots. Ultimately though the work is about people, our inner strength and our never-ending need for physical closeness. (Olivia Arthur)
‘Murmurings of the Skin’ is an exploration of the human connection to the body, the intersection of bodies and technology and the human need for physical contact. Over nearly eight years, Olivia Arthur has been making work that looks at people’s relationship with their bodies, what it means to feel comfortable in one’s own skin, and the importance of touch and intimacy. This work has included a series about young people, physicality and sexuality, stability and robotics, about touch, gestures, and solitude in COVID times. The work was triggered by her own pregnancy and the birth of her two children, images of whom appear throughout the series. (from the publisher)
