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.

“Face Technology”

Lukas Zpira recently did this facial skin removal — you can click through to get a closeup image as well. That reminds me, I have (much less intense) facial cuttings by Lukas (done in Mexico) that I really need to write an experience about!!!

    For the commentary on dueling scars and how not a whole lot of people seem to get them done, I’ve been tempted to get something akin to the scar Orlando Bloom has at the end of Kingdom of Heaven. (I think it was an axe wound? Either way. The one just below the corner of his left eye.)

    On the subject of the photo though.. Both very nice mods. Though something just kind of strikes me as odd with the tattooed eyebrows.. But that’s just me, I suppose.

  • Held by Hooks, and Each Other
    Facilitators and practitioners—the very people who bring so many suspensions to life—often pour their energy into others, quietly setting aside their own opportunities.

  • Suspended, Not Silenced
    There’s something undeniably powerful about watching someone working through the stages of suspension. We all build up ideas about ourselves—what we’re allowed to feel, how much we’re allowed to express, when it’s okay to break. For some, suspension is not about pushing physical limits its… Read more: Suspended, Not Silenced

    Some stories take their time, unfolding over decades, through life’s long detours and diversions. But dreams never rest until they’re fully realized.

    First suspensions are rarely just about the body—they’re a meeting point between the physical and the deeply personal. Stepping into this experience isn’t simply about trying something new, but about stepping outside yourself to a version you had always sensed was waiting.
