SHAME (COMMITMENT series) Photograph

Fru is a dreamer, dream interpreter and dream group leader. In 20 pictures he illuminates, amplifies and interprets the image of the bound woman like a dream. He has created a series of paintings dedicated to the concept of "hold" and "stop" or “COMMITMENT” and shows this with the example of Shibari. The character 縛 in Shibari (縛り) means to tie, to bind, to fasten, in a real, or emotional sense, like family bonds. The origins of Shibari can be traced back to the techniques used by the samurai warriors of feudal Japan to restrain prisoners. Over time, these techniques evolved into a form of erotic bondage in Japan during the Edo period (1603-1868). In the 1950s and 1960s Shibari gained popularity with the work of artists. In the 2000s, Fru was inspired by the Japanese photographer Nobuyoshi Araki. In his COMMITMENT series, he shows different ways of being trapped in culturally universal themes. Fru combines shibari with photography and Zen painting. The working method is documented in a YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xz1BCzcoyS4 Original prints are printed individually in the professional print shop and are signed by the artist.
