NOBUYOSHI ARAKI
Anbako
Published by Switch Publishing, 2023
Anbako by Nobuyoshi Araki is an intense and provocative photographic series that explores sensuality and intimacy through images of women and knots of rope. Inspired by the Japanese art of shibari (aesthetic bondage), Araki captures moments of interaction between the body and the ropes, blending beauty, pain, and submission. The work, both visually striking and full of tension, questions the boundaries between art, desire, and domination.
