Laia Abril is no stranger to themes of distress. Bulimia,coping with the death of a child, the asexual community, and virtual sex-performer couples – these are all topics that the Barcelona-based photographer has explored and attempted to demystify with her multi-layered,memoir-based practice. The subjects she tackles are complex and provocative, but ones she is able to connect with by way of female empathy (sensitivity to another's feelings as if they were one's own), and “where I can be involved emotionally”,she says.
