Hito Steyerl's film traces a search for a bondage photograph across Tokyo's image industries and rope networks.

Commissioned with support from documenta 12, the film links Steyerl's search for a 1987 photograph to questions of image circulation, dependency and power. Its published transcript preserves conversations with rope practitioners and magazine workers.
