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.

Who doesn’t wear a gas mask in the bath?

Written by

Shannon Larratt

Bang‘s first to get an instant camera shot to me with this shot of Fishie… She’s working on a series of gas mask pictures and this is a quick snap from one of the shoots.

PS. If you mail me one that I use here, I’ll send you a pack of whatever stickers I have, so be sure to include a return address — and feel free to write whatever you’d like on the bottom of the picture. My address (good until next summer) is Shannon Larratt, 2545A Dundas St. W., Toronto ON, M6P1X6 Canada.
