A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

Light and Flickering


From what I can gather, this photo was taken for the lovely La Negra‘s thirtieth birthday, and it is, unsurprisingly, as stunning as we’ve come to expect from her. But, ha ha, good luck blowing out those candles! (Yeah, I’ve got nothing.)

    I’m assuming she melted the wax onto her implants and stuck the candles on them whilst it was still hot…
