Motorcycles, women, music, night-life, drugs, life and death have always served as an inspiration to Alberto García- Alix. ‘Photographs of motorcycles, in particular, have become a focal point of his work and are part of his latest published book, entitled Moto.

There is a radical transformation between his images of the 80s and 90s and those of the present. His earlier pictures comprise portraits and self-portraits of characters mounted on their machines in the midst of a number of circuits, festivals, streets and highways, introducing us into the world...

The collage of objects and unexpected amalgamations of visual influences create surreal layers of meaning, blurring the line between the real and symbolic, life and art. “I would like you to absorb these images the same ways as you might listen in a concert, giving ourselves to the sounds and images it creates before us. Experiences, emotions and sensations (are) seldom used or half remembered. Let the images work on you.” –...
