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.
Text in English, French, Spanish, Catalan.
