The book documents the Spanish biker scene of the 1980s and early 90s—not from a distance, but from the inside, with García-Alix as both chronicler and participant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"531\" data-end=\"1108\"\u003eShot entirely in black and white, \u003cem data-start=\"565\" data-end=\"573\"\u003eBikers\u003c\/em\u003e is composed of portraits, still lifes, and moments of motion and repair. Leather, oil, chrome, tattoos, open roads and disassembled engines populate its pages, but it’s the psychological charge of the images that defines the work. These aren’t stylised images of freedom—they are tough, intimate photographs of a subculture where identity is built through the machine. The book includes legendary portraits of García-Alix himself, his friends, lovers, and motorcycles, all held together by his precise chiaroscuro and lived proximity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1110\" data-end=\"1437\"\u003ePublished in a square format with glossy dust jacket and stark serif titling, \u003cem data-start=\"1188\" data-end=\"1196\"\u003eBikers\u003c\/em\u003e has become one of the hardest to find and most important early photobooks from post-dictatorship Spain. At Darwin, this first edition is preserved not just as a cult object, but as a document of analogue obsession and subcultural belonging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1439\" data-end=\"1458\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1439\" data-end=\"1458\"\u003eTechnical Sheet\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1460\" data-end=\"1808\"\u003eTitle: Bikers\u003cbr data-start=\"1473\" data-end=\"1476\"\u003eArtist \/ Author: Alberto García-Alix\u003cbr data-start=\"1512\" data-end=\"1515\"\u003eDate: 1993\u003cbr data-start=\"1525\" data-end=\"1528\"\u003eTechnique \/ Printing Method: Offset printing\u003cbr data-start=\"1572\" data-end=\"1575\"\u003eMedium \/ Materials: Hardcover with dust jacket\u003cbr data-start=\"1621\" data-end=\"1624\"\u003eDimensions: approx. 24 × 24 cm\u003cbr data-start=\"1654\" data-end=\"1657\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eLanguage: Spanish\u003cbr data-start=\"1674\" data-end=\"1677\"\u003ePages: Unpaginated\u003cbr data-start=\"1695\" data-end=\"1698\"\u003ePublisher \/ Editor: La Tripulación\u003cbr data-start=\"1732\" data-end=\"1735\"\u003eEdition: First edition\u003cbr data-start=\"1757\" data-end=\"1760\"\u003eCondition: Very good (light wear on dust jacket)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DaRWIN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51821647462738,"sku":null,"price":200.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/7058\/0818\/files\/MAISONSCLOSES_3_a3eb3067-90b2-477e-a46f-12d4cc554a68.jpg?v=1768065744","url":"https:\/\/thedarwin.es\/products\/alberto-garcia-alix-bikers","provider":"DaRWIN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
