Sinopse: Product Description
Kinbaku-bi, anyone?
Meaning literally the beauty of tight binding,
Kinbaku-bi, the Japanese art of erotic bondage has long fascinated Nobuyoshi Araki, who has made it one of his most important subjects. Hes been called a genius and a poet, and also a misogynist, a pornographer, a monster, but Arakis work transcends simplistic moralistic classifications; he has said of his work There is no conclusion. It's completely open. It doesn't go anywhere. Whether literally or figuratively, his bound subjects are certainly immobilized, yet in the most tantalizing ways.
This Collector's Edition is limited to 1,000 copies. It consists of
three volumes, enticingly
hand-bound in the Japanese tradition and
packaged in a wooden bookcase, featuring Arakis selection of his favorite bondage photos from over his entire career.
Also available in 3 Art Editions each limited to 50 copies and coming with a digital C-print.
About the Author
Nobuyoshi Araki was born in Tokyo in 1940. Given a camera by his father at the ripe age of twelve, Araki has been taking pictures ever since. He studied photography and film at Chiba University and went into commercial photography soon after graduating. In 1970 he created his famous Xeroxed Photo Albums, which he produced in limited edition and sent to friends, art critics, and people selected randomly from the telephone book. Over the years, his bold, unabashed photographs of his private life have been the object of a great deal of controversy and censorship (especially in his native Japan), a fact that had not phased the artist nor diminished his influence. To date, Araki has published over 350 books of his work.
