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.

Eat your heart out Clive Barker

I first saw these photos on G333‘s page 2 weeks ago, and I knew right away they needed to be posted on ModBlog.  These are just three of the many photos from this shoot, all of which can be found in the play piercing gallery.  I’m in awe of how incredible these look.  Photo credit belongs to Gene Laakso from NJB Photography.

    Very, very cool. This really is performance art, I’ve always thought swinging on hooks in front of a crowd seemed a little bit cheesy, but THIS is where it’s at. I love it! Hellraiser references ftw.
