La Petite Mort Gallery presents:THE FORBIDDEN EVENING OF SHIBARI
Friday, April 3, 2009 / 7 - 10pm
In the window of La Petite Mort Gallery....
In collaboration with the photography exhibit by INKED KENNY (aka Kenny Lee) : SUBVERSIVE WORLDS
Douglas Kent, author of award-winning "The Better Built Bondage Book" and the forthcoming "Complete SHIBARI" series, would be giving us a glimpse in the very private world of SHIBARI.
What is SHIBARI? It's an artistic form of Japanese-style bondage that builds beautiful and elegant rope work from a small set of simple ties.
Commentary:
"The goal of shibari is not punishment, nor is it control, as many westernized D/s’ ers seem to practice. It is a mutual effort of the Dom and sub to build the best, closest relationship possible. There are no safewords used, scenes are not negotiated, and the concept of "safe, sane and consensual" is not vocalized. Instead there is an honor to be found within the Dom to respect the sub and ensure no harm comes to her in exchange for the total control she gives Him.
To many, shibari may seem extreme. Bondage and suspension can be torturous and painful. In addition, deep humiliation is often used, and the sub really is the Dom’s "object" to be used as He wishes. But this is all used to break down any false inhibitions between the sub and Dom and is never meant to be harmful. Instead, it diminishes and eventually removes any barriers between the two, forming a bond and dependence between the couple that is indescribable.
Shibari brings with it an innate respect for your partner, a desire to please, a closeness and bond I have not witnessed elsewhere. Admittedly, my experience is based on one Master, the Man who owns my soul. I don’t know if it is the same for everyone. I do know a comment I hear frequently in demos or at the local dungeon focuses on the obvious bond and unspoken communication between us". Anonymous Testimonial, 2009
