The #Leeds Airlines team from St. Petersburg, Russia is best known for their theatrics. Almost all of their suspensions are part of a photoshoot or performance piece, and this one is no different. This crucifix suspension was part of a performance with Prelyudia Evi, which I’m guessing is the name of the band that you can see in some of the photos.
There’s more to see, so keep on reading.
As I mentioned earlier, Dimitri from MTL Tattoo put together a number of piercing performance pieces. The first involved a woman covered in piercings, with string holding her in place. This next one involves a number of corsets, which he uses to create the illusion of lingerie.
To see how the corsets are arranged, you’ll have to keep on reading.
We get photos of performance art pieces all the time. Sometimes it’s suspension related, and other times it involves piercings. This one in particular is like nothing I’ve seen before, and it involves a lot of piercings.
There’s more to show you, but the rest don’t have any strategically placed arms, so you’ll have to keep reading to see them.
It what appears to be a part of a suspension performance, the Abyss Crew from Russia creates a fantastic looking crucifixion suspension. The first photo in particular is striking as you can almost see the cross that he’s nailed to. The second photo, while not possessing the religious weight of the first, does show a better view of the placement of the hooks.
I know it was just yesterday when we saw the 4 person devil’s tightrope pull, but when I saw these photos in the Mercury Suspension Team’s gallery I knew I had to share them.
These photos were taken backstage after the show, and is made up of a 2 person pull featuring Bradde with the hat, and 2 others (I’m sure Benolyn will post in the comments their names so I can give them credit). Now in the first photo everything is going great, and you can see Bradde is definitely feeling the pull. In the second photo, well, that’s the face of someone who just realized the person on the tightrope just fell onto it.
They also give you a much better look at just how intense this stunt is, which means it’s something you probably shouldn’t do unless you know exactly what you’re doing.
Leave it to the Mercury Suspension Team to put together a 4 person devil’s tightrope pull for a fundraiser. IAM:Benolyn sent in the photos from the event, but she didn’t include the names of anyone involved in the pull, although I do see Bradde on the far left of the first photo.
Update from Benolyn: The people pulling are Bradde Hamman, Josh Anderson, Travis Boersma, and Cory Boersma. Flec is our slackrope extraordinaire, and our anchor people are Matt Borsa, Pat Kuhn, John Osborne, and Andrew “Big Poppa” Mitchell.
As I mentioned earlier this week you’re going to be getting a look at some of the stuff Samppa Von Cyborg has been doing while on the road in the US. Today’s post is about a recent performance Samppa and Aneta did as part of their recent NYC tour stop. The centerpiece of the show was a blood painting that Samppa did of himself, Steve Haworth, and Lukas Zpira, using Aneta’s blood. The painting is now up for auction, with all proceeds going towards relief efforts in Japan.
Keep on reading to see some shots from the performance as well as how you can own this painting. Fair warning though, it is pretty bloody.
We’ve seen Adhara doing a bit of dancing before, but it seems that wherever she goes she’s got a great photographer following her every move. And can you blame them? You get a beautiful girl like Adhara dancing with a giant sword, and people are bound to take notice.
You can check out more photos of Adhara in the labret and earlobe galleries, and you can also check out the sword dance in the video below.
This, ladies and gentlemen, is Adhara. She’s a member of the Lotus Dance Studio Troupe, a tribal belly dancing group, and recently performed at Camelot Days 2010 in Florida. Not only do we have a couple of pictures of her, but after doing a quick google search I was able to track down the performance where the photos were taken.
Skip to 1:45 to see Adhara’s performance
Now the markings on her face are just paint, but her labret, industrial, nostril, and other piercings are real.
Saturday night was “show night” at the end of Oslo SusCon’s “public hours” (where they let the general public in to see ppl suspending) and we all saw a GREAT show by Lucky Hell (an australian who now lives in Helsinki, Finland with her husband Jussi - Snakeoil Sideshow) … see for yourself:
