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.

Suspending in the Forest

Written by

Shannon Larratt

There aren’t many things that make me miss the forests of Switzerland and Germany where I spent some of my childhood on my great aunt’s land… This photo of Konrad flying at the 3rd Swiss Modmeeting (c/o Visavajara in Freiburg/Nuernberg) at Kanderstet in Switzerland sure does though!
