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.

Out of the dark

Written by

Rob

It’s amazing how shadows can affect how we perceive a person’s face.  Take a look at these two photos of Roman_hertz.  In the first, the light above his head darkens the lower third of his face and his eyes, giving him a stoic look.  As if he just stepped forward out of the darkness.

Now look at this second photo.  From what I can tell, his facial expression hasn’t changed, but the angle of the light has.  The stoicism from before has now been replaced by a look of longing.  He wants to be in the light, as he has been in the darkness for so long.  He’s also wary, as the light is new, and unfamiliar.

Of course it doesn’t hurt that he’s a good looking fellow, with a great assortment of transdermal and subdermal implants.

    I personally feel the faux ”artsy” commentary on things like this are un-needed, Hes a gorgeous guy with some VERY lovely mods and all the ”He wants to be in the light, as he has been in the darkness for so long.

    First suspensions are rarely just about the body—they’re a meeting point between the physical and the deeply personal. Stepping into this experience isn’t simply about trying something new, but about stepping outside yourself to a version you had always sensed was waiting.
