Nobuyoshi Araki
Saved by
Nobuyoshi Araki's exhibition at Jablonka Galery Berlin presents 100 black-and-white photographs from the series "Kinbaku". In Japan, Kinbaku is a traditional art form combining elements from the arts of packaging and of flower decoration (Ikebana). At first glance the photos of tied up woman seem to be in line with the Western concept of Bondage, but Nobuyoshi Araki has emphasized a contrast.
