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.

Red Red Wine

Written by

Rob

For some a glass of red wine is just the thing to unwind after a long day of work.  For PrettyHateMachine, wine isn’t enough.  This South African beauty recently did a photo shoot with Zoltan Tibor Szabo-Taylor, and what you see above is the result.  To some the phrase “bleeding for your art” is used metaphorically, but for these two, it is taken quite literally.

Normally when you see bloodplay on ModBlog the term “messy” comes to mind.  This isn’t a bad thing by any stretch, but occasionally it is nice to see blood without having to think about cleaning up afterwards.

As with all forms of bloodplay, don’t try to recreate this unless you know what you’re doing.

    Whatever is in the glass looks clear or white… is there water or something in it?

    There was milk in the glass too to create a nice contrast with the blood.

    As far as I know the glass was filled with milk to begin with, and her blood added to that.

    Perhaps PrettyHateMachine could give you all the details of why this was done – something to do with an installation art movie…

    Evidently blood is denser than milk too – you can clearly see the blood at the bottom of the glass.
