Hauru (Fucus) (2020)

"Hauru (Fucus)" (2020) is an intriguing documentary short film that explores the intersection of art, nature, and human interaction in an ecosexual context. Hauru is a documentary that delves into the lives of three artists who engage in a self-organized residency on a deserted island. The film captures their exploration of the ecosystem through the lens of ecosexuality, where the environment, particularly the interaction between human, plant, and algal bodies, is celebrated through the art of Shibari (Japanese rope bondage). The film is noted for its sensory exploration, where the natural environment awakens sensuality, presented as an ecosexual experience. The artists use Shibari as a medium for touch, physical communication, and surrender, making it a space for both artistic expression and personal intimacy with nature.
