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.

The Silken String

Written by

Jordan Ginsberg


The last time we saw Graham, he was indisposed, getting ready to party, and starring in all sorts of perverse toilet erotica. Now? Our young hero has decided to grace us with George Will’s hated blue jeans, in nature, with a knit stocking cap (I think). The one incongruous piece? His asymmetric microdermal below his left eye, which, if my schooling has taught me anything, means he once killed a guy (in the bathroom, maybe?). Beware.

    Hmmn, is that tree trunk part aorta? if so and there is an anatomically correct heart at the base that is an idea I have been considering for a while – would love to see the whole piece if possible… Also loving the work in general…
