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.

Outside the box

It’s been a while since we’ve seen a piece like this, and the last time we did it was from an artist in Europe.  A lot of people were asking if there was anyone in the states that could do something similar, and by the looks of it, there is.  Megan (IAM: Guilt of Eve) works out of both Hardnox in Franklin, NJ and Asylum in NYC.  She’s got her own BME portfolio gallery, and it’s worth checking out.  This piece was done on none other than Jersey herself.

    Thanks guys! Yes, they’re Death’s head hawk moths and Deadly Nightshade Flowers. Also, my portfolio is a million years old and hasn’t been updated…so don’t look at it!

    Wow, that is beautiful. It looks like it is moving, kudos to the person with the idea and the person that made it happen.
