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.

    first off that is some pretty cool performance by those guys (and girl).

    but honestly the show seemed pretty offensive. i have absolutely no problem with heavily moded people performing for other moded people or even those without mods who are genuinely interested in the culture, but this show seemed to be showing these great performance artists as sideshow circus freaks.

    those guys should be appricated for more than the fact that they are different than your “average” Norweigian.

    Maybe i’m off base here and i probably have no right to say anything without knowing the artists or being able to understand what the hell the anchors were saying but i just felt like i was watching a freak show and not the beautiful performance that was actually going on.

    Translation or subtitles would be fantastic, but I guess I’m just being awkward 🙂

    I’ve got one of the ‘OSLO SUSCON’ brands too, on my thigh, looks like the one in the photo above turned out much better.
