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.

    The thing about Helene is that she is so in on what she is photographing, and she “feels” the tension. And every suspension picture of Christiane looks good, I don’t know how she does it. She looks so relaxed.
