Spencer Tunick

I guess there's a project for everyone. While browsing Life Magazine's website, I came across Spencer Tunick, an artist who creates art by arranging naked people.

Tunick has created his art by buildings like the Sydney Opera House and Barcelona's Plaza de la Constitución.


Tunick holds the world record for photographing the most people photographed in a single place (c. 18K people in Mexico City's principal square, the Zócalo).

For Tunick, they are "living sculptures" which "metamorphose into a new shape" and which "challenge or reconfigure one's views of nudity and privacy."


The people in Tunick's works are volunteers, who receive a limited-edition print as a reward.


Some of Tunick's volunteers have created and update a blog of the "Spencer Tunick Experience."
