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.

Operafication coming soon to Norway

Written by

Shannon Larratt

…but this wonderful (and kind of erotic) photo is from a performance by OperaNinja (yes, she’s miced because she’s an amazing opera singer and combines these two artforms) on March 11th in Eugene, OR. You’ll also find her at this year’s Oslo SusCon as far as I know!

    I love Hilary… she’s wonderful. And her performances send shivers down my spine.

    Oh, and what does “she’s miced” mean?

    miced = mic’d = wearing a microphone

    The person in the picture is Zane(IAM:Pyrogen). He is absoluetly amazing and I feel very blessed to have him in my life and to be able to create performance art with someone I love and respect in so many ways. He is as much of a part of Operafication as I am and I would have it no other way!

    Wow, Zane is really fucking hot. Is that your boyfriend or can I marry him?
