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.

    I like it; I’d hang it in my living room, would definitely make an interesting discussion piece.

    I’d totally hang it in my living room.

    I don’t have a living room, and I’m not much for actually decorating things, but I do really like it.

    Your like or dislike of a piece of art really does not determine its value. The fact that it elicits a response makes it powerful.

    I really like it. It would make an interesting discussion… specially when my grandparents would come over.

    Eh, i think its beautiful.
