Inspired by Hajime Kinoko’s rope art, Mitya Staev colaborated with rope artists Jazmin Wu and Neena De Ville to create an immersive multimedia installation - a labyrinthine of connection and surrender, blending performance, sculpture, and social experiment.
The work transforms rope bondage into a sensory playground, where guests enter blindfolded and navigate the space through touch, breath, scent and intuition.
By stripping away sight, the piece challenges how connection, consent, and vulnerability are experienced.
It shifts rope practice from a private ritual into a collective, physical dialogue — a raw encounter with trust, boundaries, and human presence. What began as a bondage-inspired experiment evolved into a collective exploration of intimacy and sensory perception within a shared artistic frame.
