Spencer Tunick Working in Düsseldorf, Germany
Photographer Spencer Tunick has caused quite the stir in his career. He started with a bang in New York City when he summoned 20 people to gallivant naked through NYC. This naked run almost lead to his arrest. Who would have guessed that today his nude photoshoots contain thousands of naked men and women?
Tunick has some big plans for his next great photo. He said his photo, which is planned for the Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras in Sydney was inspired by an important cause, “I’m an advocate of gay marriage and equal rights for the gay community, so I want the straight community to come out and pose with the gay and lesbian community and show their support,” he said.
“By creating this interwoven natural base for the Sydney Opera House it will show the fabric of Sydney—an open society: open to art, open to lifestyles, open to understanding and equality.” [Wentworth]
