SYNOPSIS:
"Suspended" both documents and recontextualizes the experience and perception of suspended time amongst a diverse cross section of people. The piece captures a range of evocative moments that reveal states of emotional and physical suspension: moments of heightened anticipation, focused intensity and blissful surrender.
