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.

Blueman from Moscow

    I’ve always wondered what the blue men use as pace paint. How does it stay so shiny? Is it always wet? Is it latex?

    It’s a mystery!

    J-Knuckles: I saw the Blue Man Group in London a few weeks ago – the face paint they use does look quite latexy (they like to get close to their audience, so you do get a good look). I’d highly recommend seeing the show if you happen to be anywhere near one of the venues they’re playing.

  • Suspended, Not Silenced
    There’s something undeniably powerful about watching someone working through the stages of suspension.

    First suspensions are rarely just about the body—they’re a meeting point between the physical and the deeply personal.
