Magnum photographer Olivia Arthur’s 'Murmurings of the Skin' is an intimate exploration of the human body

© Olivia Arthur / MagnumPhotos.

Olivia Arthur’s latest book, Murmurings of the Skin, is a deeply personal and visually compelling meditation on the human body and our relationship to it. Published by Void, this long-anticipated release brings together eight years of work, weaving together themes of physicality, sexuality, technology, and intimacy.

Arthur, a British-born Magnum photographer, is known for her poetic approach to visual storytelling, and Murmurings of the Skin continues that tradition in a profoundly evocative way. The book explores the complicated relationship people have with their bodies, and what it means to feel comfortable in your own skin.
