Revolver Resurrection

Posted on September 8, 2006 by Shannon Larratt

I like Bad Bunny‘s revolver scarification, done on her by Shon at a PPIS scarification course. I figured I should kill two birds with one stone and show you the healed version in a resurrection suspension (done at the ONE festival).

Muy impresionante! Esto es un suspension del estmago de dos ganchos en el lago, realizado por mi amigo Trash a partir de Arte Antiguo en Guadalajara. Me disculpo por mi gramtica pobre.

Don’t mess with Australia

Thanks to my friend Pete in Australia with The Hanged Man Team for this photo of Todd suspending with his rifle in West Gippsland, Australia. Australia is a tough country (I’ve seen Priscilla Queen of the Desert, I know), so it’s always prudent to carry protection if you’re going to test the edges of society’s tolerances. (For anyone that’s completely culturally clueless, of course I’m kidding… or am I?)

Hey, school starts next week! Better have some fun with your parents before the long drought. Care of unknownstar:

What, this isn’t how you sleep?

Thanks to Lefrog for this shot of Namesofthedead‘s 8-point static suspension by House of Wah and Constant Elevation. It’s interesting — finally after about three decades, rigging techniques pioneered by Stelarc and honed by groups like TSD are finally becoming more common. Not that there’s anything wrong with a simple back suspension, and I think for most people that’s the better way to go — but for art’s sake, I just love this style of rigging.

That is one strong dog.
