BME: Body Modification Ezine

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.

It Was Blue and Gold

Written by

Jordan Ginsberg


And here, courtesy of the fine folks involved with Berlin, Germany’s Superfly Suspension crew, we have a suspension so nice you just want to hang it on your wall—which, um, was kind of the idea, apparently. This may have been done before (likely by the Superfly team themselves?), but we applaud a clever and well-executed take on suspension like this—one that’s a little more performance art than straight spectacle (not that there’s anything wrong with either, of course).

    This was indeed done before – not only done by the very same Superfly crew but also featured right here on modblog! And Chandler does have an (admittedly neglected) IAM page. Proper research seems not to be modblog’s strong suit these days….But anyway, I think this a cool concept/great idea, executed in a unique and intrinsic way that definitely deserves being featured more often!
