Hajime KINOKO (1977) - Lot 321

Hajime KINOKO (1977) Japanese Bondage (Shibari), circa 2015 Offset color print Dimensions: 27 cm x 18.8 cm Note : Photograph of a shibari scene by Hajime Kinoko, a contemporary Japanese artist renowned for his work with rope as an artistic medium. His approach is characterized by a performative dimension and an elaborate aesthetic, blending Japanese tradition and contemporary creation. Shibari is used here as a structuring visual language, in which the ropes participate in the composition and staging of the body, in a formal and expressive research. The color offset print corresponds to a printed reproduction, as distinct from an original photographic print, an important element in the appreciation of the work in terms of rarity and value.
