"In his thick photographs, heavy with souls and flesh, inhabited by force and vulnerability, Monika Macdonald instills an unusual eroticism in photography that provokes a vision of interiority more than it arouses the fantasy. They invite us to observe moments of abandonment as well as introspection. where beings, distant and yet concrete, are captured in their daily lives as desiring subjects rather than objects of desire. Here the intimate is suggested, and something of the order of the neglected existence surfaces. Monika Macdonald shows what remains in absence, the flesh of everyday life: encounter, abandonment, taste of solitude... The enchantment of his images lets us penetrate beyond of the visible and glimpse this intimacy which is usually hidden. "My images are memories. To access the feeling of loneliness and vulnerability. To be admitted beyond reason, far from what we call reality."
