As Consciousness is Harnessed to Dress
von The Clyo

In this self-suspension performance, the artist uses her knowledge of Japanese rope bondage to create self-choreographed poses with her own body in mid-air. Each pose conveys a different set of emotions that bare the vulnerabilities as well as the strength of the artist visible. Through the medium of the body, the artist is underlying the unique connection of her art to herself, which is, like the consciousness in Susan Sontag’s words, harnessed to the flesh.

Instant Intimacy – The Power of Restriction
von Kristina Marlen (Berlin)

Encounter Kinbaku/Shibari, the art of erotic bondage.

Interactive, flowing performance installation.

The audience can quietly linger, move about, or dare to interact.

The performer will be tying brave audience members.
