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.

Ocean View Suspension

Written by

Shannon Larratt

Banana (of Extigma in Copiapo, Chile) sent in this great shot of a four-point lotus suspension off an old iron bridge in Caldera overlooking the ocean, a beautiful location that reminded me of the Navio Mara suspension posted earlier this month. Nice backpiece also!

    Damn, someone else got to it before me. Stunning view though!
    I’ve always dreamed of getting married suspending something similar to that. Too bad I’m not getting my wish, hah.
