I’m Nick, a rigger working under the name of Iris Red Horse. I offer intimate private shibari sessions in my studio in Brussels. Next to that I do shibari photoshoots and on-set support for film and artistic productions. 

As a rigger, I place the highest importance on the visual aspect of rope. I feel attuned to how to make the person in rope look at their best, how to find positions that feel graceful, and how to reveal what is already there. When I tie, it is not about technique, but about guiding the person in rope into a near-trance state, sharing an imagination or a fantasy.

Rope is not a performance.

It is a shared listening — to body, to breath, to what lies beneath words.

In each session, I offer a space where strength and surrender can meet without judgment or goal.

My role is to hold, to guide, and to witness. Yours is simply to arrive — as you are.

I offer one-on-one sessions, photoshoots, and creative guidance for film and art projects. Each a meeting of presence, attunement and beauty.
