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!!!

    I have yet to see anyone get facial removals that look like dueling scars. That would be cool and highly Teutonic.

    As it is, these should heal to be quite complimentary to the face they are on.
