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.

Silhouette at dusk

Written by

Rob

As the sun sets in the Brazilian sky, Joao_Caldara looks out on the world.  For us at home/work, we get to admire not only the setting sun that he sees, but also see it from a different perspective, which is through his lobes.

Of course some of you may be wondering what Joao looks like in the light.  Thankfully he sent in another photo for your viewing pleasure.

    Oh MY. Not only is the first picture fantastic (I love the idea of looking through someone’s lobes at something like a sunset) but, not to be shallow, he’s also wicked wicked handsome. Thanks Rob!

  • Suspended, Not Silenced
    by Jonathon
    There’s something undeniably powerful about watching someone working through the stages of suspension. We all build up ideas about ourselves—what we’re allowed to feel, how much we’re allowed to express, when it’s okay to break. For some, suspension is not about pushing physical limits its… Read more: Suspended, Not Silenced

    Some stories take their time, unfolding over decades, through life’s long detours and diversions. But dreams never rest until they’re fully realized. Even after 15 years, Robb knew there was still a suspension experience waiting for him. Something left unfinished, something essential. At the Ontario… Read more: A Nightbird’s Passage
  • What Lifts the Body, Shifts the Soul
    by Jonathon
    First suspensions are rarely just about the body—they’re a meeting point between the physical and the deeply personal.

I’ve had a… Read more: What Lifts the Body, Shifts the Soul
