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.

Russian Suspension and BodMod Documentary

The full-length body mod documentary below is all in Russian I’m afraid, but I still watched every minute of it and greatly enjoyed seeing so many friends and BME members that I’ve known over the years — Sinner Team for example is broadly featured as are a number of other well-known Ruissian body play icons. I also really liked it because it feels like body modification in America has gotten very “fashion conscious” and gentrified, but most of the people in this video felt very “real” — not all dressed up with lots of makeup and styling for lack of a better way of explaining it. I felt like I could relate to it, and it was just really nice seeing lots of modded people with a real purity about them. Or maybe because I couldn’t understand what was being said I was just projecting what I wanted to see? I can’t say for sure, but I do want to recommend this video. Put on some music if you can’t understand the words.

    I watched this a while ago, not speaking a word of Russian myself, because it was so visually well done, well shot and authentic.
    Like the first comment, I also want to know what happened to Jenya… I hope this was shot a while ago and he’s better 🙂

    @Eolone: That video is a couple years old. I think I first saw it in a post I made about Jenya almost 2 years ago. http://news.bmezine.com/2010/12/14/the-noble-platypus/#comments

    If you check the comments Jenya himself shows up and lets everybody know that he beat his illness and he was doing much better. http://news.bmezine.com/2011/12/13/peace-out/#comments
