Wow, I am really blown away by this performance shot of Bonnie by Mamma Tomma — skewering someone with a pitchfork and then using it to lift them up into the air is very intense!!! I’d love to have seen this show in person…

- What Lifts the Body, Shifts the Soulby JonathonFirst suspensions are rarely just about the body— they’re a meeting point between the physical and the deeply personal.

woah, that’s definitely intense. i would have thought the person being lifted would have tilted more to the side since they’re just being lifted up from one side.

I agree 11, i think in the second picture you can see another fork on the left of her.
Anyway, awesome.

to 13, i think those are capped needles on the other side, not a pitchfork (similar to the needles in the first photo).
though i imagine the second photo could have been taken before the second pitchfork was inserted.
in any case, it’s awe-inspiring and almost unbelievable!

If you look at the series, in the first one she has needles on her right. Followed by a fork on her right (replacing the needles) and needles on her left. In the last photo she has the fork from 2, and what appears to be a single spike protruding from where the needles in 2 are.

I wish I’d been there! Bonnie is such a lovely girl. As much as it hurt, she seemed in pretty good spirits the next evening! I hear they made quite an impression on the crowd with this one, too.
