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.

The Hanged Man

Herbert does an “Anti-Christo” suspension with the assistance of AlienX and Xtreme in Natal, Brasil. Oh, as I have opined many times, oh to live in Natal…

    I don’t know about him, but I would get a maaaad migrane after standing up from that. I like how one blade of grass looks like it’s sticking out of his ear.

    IS he not doing the Tarot major arcana card “The Hanged Man”? Its an archetype of surrender and letting go, in a higher spiritual sense.
