One aspect of shibari art that makes it so attractive is the geometry and contrast of the rope against the smooth lines and texture of a beautiful model’s body.  Look at the excellent decorative ropework on this beautiful model in this very nice photograph.  This is an example of the continual evolution in contemporary shibari.  This is art.

 
The Art of Contemporary Shibari Exhibit at the Fotofest 2012 Biennial will feature works by exceptional shibari riggers and photographers from around the world as well as the United States.
