"The Art of Suspension"

Desiree Booth, 20, and Brandon Jones, 19, have been performing suspension for more than a year with a group known as the bodyart daredevils. Suspension involves hanging the body from steel hooks and is done for a variety of reasons, some religious, some pleasure-seeking. Desiree and Brandon both say that they perform in part because of the attention they receive.
