About the Book
Documentary about suspension. The act of suspension is hanging the human body from (or partially from) hooks pierced through the flesh in various places around the body.
There are many different reasons to suspend, from pure adrenaline or endorphin rush, to conquering ones fears, to trying to reach a new level of spiritual consciousness and everything in between. In general, people suspend to attain some sort of "experience".
Some people are seeking the opportunity to discover a deeper sense of themself and to challenge pre-determined belief systems which may not be true. Some are seeking a right of passage or a spiritual encounter to let go of the fear of not being whole or complete inside their body.
Others are looking for control over their body, or seek to prove to themselves that they are more than their bodies, or are not their bodies at all. Others simply seek to explore the unknown.

About the photographer:
'Lex Hulscher is a photographer who does not shy away from perspective and colour.
From a young age, this Dutchman from Nijmegen has always experimented with an artistic approach to his images.
Hulscher says he shoots and formalises his images the 'Lexican-way' - a signature style of expressive color and on-the-edge perspective.
This, along with his natural inspiration, is what informs the whole of his fetish work.
This image treatment means that the viewer's perceptions are always neatly controlled.
It's the kind of discipline in work we love to see - and publish.'
