D ark lighting combines with booming music. With naked torsos shining, artists Daniel Kok and Luke George slowly, carefully, bind each other in rope. They string themselves — and later audience members — from the ceiling, like colourful trussed chickens. Placed on stage are everyday objects, including a kettle, table and mop bound by neon string, lending a playfully surreal touch. So sets the scene for the boundary-pushing installation Bunny, which premieres in Sydney this month.
Japanese Rope bondage is often called Shibari or Kinbaku, terms used interchangeably by the Japanese. The word Shibari came into common language more recently, and outside the erotic world it does not necessarily identify a form of Bondage. In Shibari the emphasis is not placed on the binding itself, but on how the rope is placed from the Rigger in japanese kinbakushi , so as to become an extension of his hands, and on the relationship of intimacy so created. In short, the Japanese bondage concerns more the path that leads to the final result, than the result itself. Today Japanese Bondage is not only a form of sadomasochistic constraint, but has become a real artistic expression, where the Rigger creates a sculpture by shaping the human body through ropes.
Nobuyoshi Araki is a contemporary Japanese photographer known both for his prolific output and his erotic imagery. Similar to the work of Helmut Newton , Araki often addresses subversive themes—such as Japanese bondage kinbaku —in his provocative depictions of female nudes. Well, they are gods.
Sunrise Shibari. I have collected here many, but far from all, of my favorite Shibari and Kinbaku videos. These are videos I've shared as my Sunrise Shibari picks.
