Bound to Boundless Art-Film
A collaboration with Carmen Clews and filmmaker Daron Chatz.
This short film draws inspiration from the sculptor’s desire to share the awe-inspiring and tranquil experience felt when inviting Bryony Leach, a Shibari artist to intricately bind her sculptures. Immerse yourself in an intimate journey where thoughtful focus guides you into the captivating vortex of tranquility within this intimate environment.
This is the complete full art video as seen in the gallery space.
“Attending Bound to Boundless was truly unforgettable. Carmen Clews’ artistic exploration of Shibari transcended mere aesthetics, delving deep into the realms of vulnerability, trust and liberation. The exhibition seamlessly integrated sculptures, paintings, poetry and performance art to create a multi-sensory journey of self-discovery.
Witnessing the intricate rope work live at the exhibition was a thrilling experience and shed so much light on what Shibari really is and how it can be used to liberate oneself and others”.
