Embrace Chaos Suspensions
About Us

Embrace Chaos is an artistic directive of human connections that uses suspension to facilitate life-changing experiences and document the beauty contained within them. We create moments in space in which the human body is free of the bonds of gravity and is in its most vulnerable yet powerful form. The act of suspension is a physically painful and emotional event that conveys the essence of the suspendee’s experience. At its core, Embrace Chaos is the collective experience of suspension artists around the world creating memories and bonds that last a lifetime.

Hope Street Suspension Installation with Dave Navarro

On August 23, 2016 Embrace Chaos facilitated a guerilla suspension performance at the southern end of Hope Street under the I-10 freeway. The suspendee for this installation was Dave Navarro, who coincidentally contacted me about doing a public suspension while I was walking back from scouting this location with Ashes Wednesday. Dave was pierced and rigging set at my loft nearby and then we drove the six blocks to the location. We couldn't have asked for a better night. We had minimal drive by traffic and zero...

Due to the actual likelihood of the network letting the suspension be aired, it was kept under wraps what we were there to do. Everyone on set was very professional and were very helpful. That lead to the suspension...
