Male Shibari
Male Shibari is a German rigger.
Era: 2020s
RIGGER · PHOTOGRAPHER · TEACHER
Hamburg-based rigger, photographer, teacher and visual artist working publicly as Male Shibari / Male_shibari. His official site presents a male-focused shibari / kinbaku photo practice built around private commissioned sessions, bodily communication, aesthetics and self-dyed ropes. Daruma Berlin's December 2024 Men in Rope weekend identifies him as Frank, a Hamburg-based rigger and photographer, and frames the workshop around adapting Japanese-inspired bondage for male bodies; the following Daruma life-drawing listing names Male Shibari & Cons in the performance programme. Semjon Contemporary's 2025 Berlin exhibition page and Artsy / art press traces support the gallery-art layer without turning the exhibition into a separate lineage view hub.
