Shadow Suspension by STELARC & Havve Fjell


For anyone with a liking for suspension and/or piercing this may be of interest:

Shadow suspension was a collaboration with havve fjell for the dallas suscon 2013, organised by allen falkner. It was held at the lakewood theatre, dallas on the 30 march. 6 bodies, 3 males and 3 females, were suspended horizontally face-up in a hexagonal configuration. The body structure was spun, whilst winched up and lowered down and the sounds amplified. An aesthetic surveillance system of cameras positioned above, below and a hand-held camera enabled streaming of the performance from a multiplicity of viewpoints. The duration of the suspension itself was 23 minutes.
