M-shape

Filed Under: Photo

This series was created at home during the COVID lockdown, as one of Kirigami and Marta Tenshiko’s first shared photographic experiments. With no outside photographer or assistant, they built an intimate sequence together, working with the available light, the domestic setting and a suspension that draws the body into its characteristic M shape.

The gallery follows the transition from the initial vertical pose to an increasingly compact and intense position. The red dress, dark wood and natural rope create a suspended atmosphere born from mutual exploration rather than a structured production.

Photography and rope: Federico Kirigami
Model: Marta Tenshiko
Assistants: none
