An unusual and original photographic project, born almost by
chance during a night inside a small club in
Minami and a love hotel in Osaka, Japan.
Twenty images to tell the story of shibari, a culture with
ancient origins, which in Photogeisha today is documented from
an unusual angle compared to the ideas that normally
accompany this discipline. The images tell the story of
an art in which the spectator becomes a participant in the sharing
of a living sculpture and a meditative practice that, through
the flexibility of the body and mind, becomes an expression of
power and exchange. A mix of body and spirit in which the
rope is the means and in which more than the final destination, the
path taken together counts.
