UMBERTO STEFANELLI Look at me - pHOTogeisha serie, one night stand in Osaka
Lambda print on Fuji paperCm 180 x 120Signed, numbered and artist's studio dry stampP. A 1/3Certificathe of authenticity from the artist 2020An unusual and original photographic project, born almost bychance during a night inside a small club inMinami and a love hotel in Osaka, Japan.Twenty images to tell the story of shibari, a culture withancient origins, which in Photogeisha today is documented froman unusual angle compared to the ideas that normallyaccompany this discipline. The images tell the story ofan art in which the spectator becomes a participant in the sharingof a living sculpture and a meditative practice that, throughthe flexibility of the body and mind, becomes an expression ofpower and exchange. A mix of body and spirit in which therope is the means and in which more than the final destination, thepath taken together counts.
