SECOND SKINS

is presented
as a possible continuation of a previous
collection titled Skins. The two series have
several aspects in common. While both
aim to investigate the internal aspects of
the human being, they focus on different
elements to try and understand the inner
reality of a person. In Skins the intention is to
reflect on the choice of the individual to be
a certain character, but Second Skins shows
a range of personalities that are, or are not
in our power – often they're adopted under
the circumstances. According to Miguel
Vallinas, these images are based on ‘the
individual self’ because they attempt to
isolate the character through ignoring its
references.
