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.

    Ricardo: Where’s my artichoke gone? Somebody stole my artichoke! Schweinhundt!

    Magda: Calm down Ricardo, where is your sense of Freundschaft? Remember we are all minimal Kameraden here! Im afraid that earlier on I got a bit peckish and as you know I like soup. So I liquidised your artichoke and made some soup!
