Kinbaku came to me in 2016 during the summer, I just arrived in Paris to live my new life. First thing I did as an art student is to visit Guimet, the Asian Museum where a photographic exhibition was hold. There I discovered the work of Araki Nobuyoshi and though "that's what I want to do".
So, indeed, to me Kinbaku is linked with art, but art as practice not as picture. It's a movement, nothing frozen. An intimate practice, very deep, uncommon, challenging.
Very soon I saw shibari performances, I saw people cry, laugh, meditate, get excited. I saw a connexion, a conversation without words, or few.
And, experiencing it as model, but especially as rigger and self-suspender -even with a level yet to improve- I explored life itself, intensity through restriction. The ability you give for someone to surrender.
And shouldn't I mention beauty ? Quite surely in the techniques but especially in the energy, the emotion, of individuals towards the medium of rope.
