'The pain Is part of the process.' Why two artists are pushing body modification to the extreme:
I had to take a couple of naps while he was working on me. That’s the most elaborate makeup session I’ve ever sat for, but it was absolutely worth it. I was so impressed. I was dumbfounded. He transformed me into something so beautiful with his artistry.Endurance performance projects typically involve spending a lot of time with others. Those eight hours were really bonding for them. There was also all the time we had to spend with the suspension artists.
I myself go through a preparation process of fasting. I don’t eat the whole day beforehand, and I meditate to get myself psychologically prepared for the time that the hooks go in me. The pain is part of the process, and it doesn’t last very long—at least not for me. Everyone who suspends has their own experience, and it’s a very beautiful and spiritual experience for me.The practice of endurance performance is one of training, when you have to learn to endure. The training is physical, and it’s also emotional, and it’s also spiritual. It’s also a practice of care. You have to work with people who know what they are doing.
But I compare the pain of suspension to the pains I have had to endure as a human being, and how much I have been hurt by people. I converted that pain to the pain of the suspension, and let it go. It was about letting it go., installation view at OCDChinatown. Courtesy of the artist and OCDChinatown.
