Murmurings of the Skin is a photographic exploration of the human connection to the body. The starting point for the work was Olivia Arthur’s own pregnancy, and the project developed to encompass series about physicality and sexuality, stability and robotics, touch, gesture, and solitude.

The photographs, made over eight years, range from intimate and sensual portraits alongside those of robots and people engaging with technology—challenging notions of what it means to be human.
