Simon Duhamel's 'Floating Museum' is tempting me to become an astronaut. Why should decapitated hands on platters and knots have all the fun of weightlessness?

They shouldn't and I should. Simon Duhamel has managed to make [weightless photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aerial-flow-therapy) look easy here. I can't tell how he managed to suspend these objects, and frankly I don't care. I need more weightless Simon Duhamel photography in my life--I'm thinking class pictures and wedding photos.

**Implications** - What do you think about [floating handtography](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lp-lamp)? Can you imagine it being used over and over again? I have to admit I think the work of SImon Duhamel is truly amazing and equally captivating!
