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.

Don’t Know If I Can


Well, this impressive. The ihung folks have been working with a gentleman named Ivan who conceived of this 25-foot-tall PVC-pipe dome structure, which is apparently based on some manner of sacred geometry forms, and have put it to use for suspension purposes. Rumor has it, they’ll be building an even bigger one this weekend at the Dallas SusCon. More photos, after the jump.

    That is just unfair. I don’t even have enough room in my ‘yard’ for a table, never mind a super awesome suspension dome. Very nice construction and curious to see what sort of things can be done with it.

    This is beautiful. I feel inspired and happy that suspension is only evolving more and more and that spiritual/ universal themes are integral in such examples. I think its time for the anti-gravity psysuspension.
