In 2024, the artwork was part of a major exhibition on the theme of VIOLENCE - POWER - DEVOTION. Find out more at https://www.fru.ch/kalender/commitment.htm Together with model Romana Lara, fru has designed a series of pictures on the theme of "creative bonds", with references to Japanese Shibari. Terms relating to " bonds" or “restraints” are illustrated in an even more ambiguous and dazzling way than they already are. The "creative bonds" series of pictures philosophises critically and humorously about life in freedom with increasingly blurred boundaries on the one hand, and the desire for restriction, clear facts and "captivating" activities on the other. This picture was taken when I had to dispose of the flyers on the deportation of migrants, together with the newspaper "La Libertée" (Liberty). Environment, shibari, styling, body painting and photography were done entirely by the artist. The originals (in Open Edition with slightly varying digital post-processing) are fine art prints with LUCIA pigment ink on Hahnemühle PhotoRag (300g) and are signed by artist.

fru (Beat Frutiger), born in 1952 in Bern, lives in Kaiseraugst near Basel and worked as a art teacher from 1981 until his retirement in 2013. He publishes under the pseudonym fru.ch. Influenced by performances of the 1970s, Zen art and training as a make-up artist, fru has been combining body painting, photography and Zen art in a unique way. His art is a play between the photographic image that represents reality and the painting or sculpture that embodies an ideal. Since his training in 1981, his creativity has been concerned with the deconstruction of fine art, body art and photography for a reconfiguration of the elements into a result in which the image is, as in Zen teachings, "the finger pointing at the moon".
