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.

Silent Agony

There isn’t much to say about these photos as they pretty much left me speechless.  A big thank you to Arseniy for continuing to send in beautiful images of his body modification related art.

There are a couple more to see after the clickthrough, so keep on reading.

The full sized images, along with several others from the shoot can be found in the lip sewing gallery, which is a part of the ritual galleries on BME.

I highly recommend checking out the rest of the images in their intended sizes, so make sure to log in before you check out the gallery.
