Vik is a rigger from Barcelona. His first contact with shibari was 8 years ago, when he saw some pictures of a friend who was involved with this art. But it wasn’t until the beggining of 2019 that he felt an interest in learning and practicing it. He started tying and being tied, training with several riggers and exploring various styles. In ropes, he found a tool to explore and discover. Little by little as a rigger, he has found his own path, which he still explores today. His curiosity and interest for Semenawa led him to study with international instructors. In kinbaku, he found both simplicity and intricacy, a style that enhances the beauty of the body and emotions, simple in appearance but with a great purpose, intention and complexity. Along with his partner Gala, they have had the opportunity of doing performances or, as they prefere to call them, live sessions in public, both nationally and internationally, at La Gabia Studi, Makabre’s fest and Erostreet Festival in Spain, at Yūgen Studio in Milan, Rope Spirit in Prague, and more.

What is Shibari?
Tying the knot never sounded better.
Shibari (meaning 'to tie' in Japanese) is a form of Japanese bondage art that involves tying and restraining a person using intricate and decorative patterns of rope. Today it is often a popular activity within the world of BDSM. In BDSM, Shibari practitioners, sometimes referred to as 'riggers' or 'rope artists' derive pleasure not only from the artistic side of shibari but also from seeing their partner tied up- just as the person being tied (the 'model' or the 'bottom') derives sexual pleasure from being restrained.
What makes it hot?
Shibari has gained more attention in the Western world for it’s aesthetic beauty. It’s seen by many as a very tasteful form of BDSM, with the ties and the images of people tied thought to be beautiful, and strikingly elegant. The careful process of Shibari can also be a tantalising sexual build for both the rigger and the model.
Shibari emphasiSes both restraint and artistic expression, setting it apart from more utilitarian forms of bondage.
Safety is crucial. Beginners should start with basic ties, attend workshops, and prioritise communication. Always have safety shears on hand to quickly cut the rope if needed, and regularly check the bound person's circulation.
Shibari can be both sensual and artistic. The process of tying and being tied fosters a unique intimacy. Practitioners often focus on creating beautiful and comfortable ties that enhance the overall sensory experience.

DO
Learn your stuff: Be it through workshops or online tutorials, Shibari takes a lot of work.
Respect the model: They are also an important part of the creative process. Listen to them and don’t push their boundaries.
Practise with a pro: Try Shibari with somebody experienced in the practice.
DON'T
Go in hard: Start with easier knots before shooting for the crazy stuff.
Assume that the vibe is sexual: Shibari isn’t always associated with BDSM.
Share without consent: Don't share any photos or videos of your work without consent of the model.
