Controversial Issues

Public Places, Naked Photography.

Spencer Tunick is a naked- crowds photographer, who has taken pictures of nude crowds in several public places around the world. His record was in Mexico City where he shot a picture to over 18.000 nude volunteer models.

His goal has been drawing the attention about the private and public concept the things that is correct to show and the ones that is social correct to occult. As art pieces his photographs are trying to make a difference furthermore they are always looking for a reaction, some of them on topics related to the global warming and HIV /AIDS.

Some sectors of society have taken his installations as offensives. The church from some places has held the idea that women and men, participants, are losing part of their dignity. Some critics even being comfortable with the nudity believe that Spencer isn’t doing something new. Nakedness and protest has being together for long time ago.

However, as the same Tunick said in the documentary positively naked. It’s an experience of art; it is all about to seize a space the artist coupled with the models. They would like have lived before or do it again.
