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.

Where They Breathe They Impose

Written by

Jordan Ginsberg


Oh, hello! Welcome to the nation’s leading renter’s insurance advice column, “PVC Wednesdays”! Today we have the lovely Cyberesque and her man, all done up in the shiny black stuff, posing at London’s Torture Garden back in 2008. Handsome couple, no? After the jump, they ditch their earthly bondage for something a little freer.

    This has got to be one of the most aesthetically pleasing things I have seen in a long time – and that’s saying a lot. Love everything from the heavy black ink to how the pieces coordinate between the two bodies. Oh… and I’d like to see more and more and more of this everywhere.
