Bodyrituals BluddhisticBluddhistic BodyritualsAddressAntwerp, BelgiumAdditional information
My name is Yosse, and I'm independently active in my studio in Belgium.
Also periodically in Eastern Germany (Essen / Black Forest), Berlin and Switzerland (north of Zurich). Very flexible to travel and collaborate.
The foundation to my approach is very technical, in order to have all the tools and security to fully focus on someone's experience.
Sessions: Offering body suspension, needle projects and rituals often involving blood or the breaching/piercing of the skin.
I love to design the experience someone is after, investing a lot of time and effort in tailoring the session to someone's need.
Performance: Another focus of mine is performance art/theatrical rituals, with a few interesting works planned to be released in 2026. I find it important to make a conceptually strong whole, just like a ritual where every component, relation and action taking place have to work in the story.
I also play improvised guitar at Shibari Events and am planning on recording a suspension themed album.
Research and Education: With an academic background in mechanical engineering, I feel like I can contribute a lot to our scene both research-wise as well as in how I approach a lot of technical concepts. I work on educational content surrounding mechanics and material science for body suspension, preparing academical research into properties of the skin relevant for body suspension. (Which I feel is the Nr 1 blind spot for our craft.) If you have questions , would like to discuss mechanics or if you have problems to solve for either a temporary or permanent setup; feel free to hit me up!
