BME: Body Modification Ezine

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.

    now i’m pretty used to most things, but i can’t ever remember seeing such a clear and up close shot of a suspension, and just the look of the hooks pulling at the skin actually made me wince. It is indeed nice scenery, but it looks like an edge of a deck or some wood in the corner of the shot?

    oooh… my favorite style to suspend…
    @#2: If you look in the “coma suspension” BME gallery, there`s a few more pictures of this one. Actually, being able to see the hooks and what`s happening to the body while suspending was what drew me towards doing it like this for my first one.

    those are actually cables he’s hanging from. the wood looking thing is a roll out bamboo mat just to cover the ground.

    the place is called plenty ke’ave in Kaupo. Maui, HI

    thanks for the compliments
