JAPANESE BONDAGE (SHIBARI), circa 2010 - Lot 315

JAPANESE BONDAGE (SHIBARI), circa 2010 Digital color print Dimensions: 28.4 cm x 20.2 cm Note :Photograph depicting a shibari scene, a Japanese binding technique based on a codified aesthetic tradition, combining constraint, staging and visual composition. This practice, developed in Japan and spread internationally from the end of the 20th century, is part of a performative and artistic approach to the body, in which ropes become a graphic element structuring the image. The digital color print is a contemporary reproduction, to be distinguished from a period photographic print, a factor to be taken into account when appreciating the work, particularly in terms of rarity and value.
