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 that’s what I call rigging!

Merlin5 got “framed” by Chandler (of Superfly Suspension in Berlin, Germany)…

    I think I could manage a suspension, with a lot of deep breathing, but this one just seems.. so much harder to zen into. More power to you if you can, though. (:

    I think someone should do an art exhibition like this, with lots of different people in frames. Although I guess it would have to be quite a short exhibition!
