SINOPSIS
Lovely Andrea relates to the search for a photography taken in Tokyo around 1987. The photo shows the artist half naked and tied up, a bondage picture in the nawa-shibari style, characterised by women bound and suspended in the air. Today Japanese bondage is a subgenre of pornography. But it developed from the martial arts, hojojutsu being the act of using of a rope to capture, transport and torture criminals. An aesthetic act from the start, only in the late 19th and early 20th centuries did it acquire a sensual and erotic dimension.TECHNICAL SPECS
