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.

Ten Years of Pain – Coupon

One of my favorite books on body ritual, if not my favorite, is Havve Fjell‘s brilliant retrospective Ten Years of Pain (click the link for a review). After being unobtainable for too long, Ryan at BMEshop tells me he’s got another shipment of the book in from Norway. It’s not cheap unfortunately, but it’s worth every cent, and the good news is that if you type in the coupon code “Modblog-Loves-Norway” at checkout, it’ll knock $10 off the price. Click the picture to jump to the shop page now.

    Havve is truly an amazing person. For lack of better words, I would say that he is the Fakir of our generation.

    Håvve is funny when he’s drunk. He’s also funny when trying to make a dildo mould of someone elses penis.

    oh, and yeah. It is a nice book.

    While it may not be “cheap” at BMEShop I could definitely recommend it even if it had a higher price. I really have to second Allen here, Håvve is indeed an amazing person.

    This book is fantastic. I agree with A.Falkner saying that Havve is a contamporary fakir.
