Who said cold? A 5,200 people posed naked on the stairs today the spectacular Sydney Opera House in Australia (designed by architect Jorn Utzon) for U.S. photographer Spencer Tunick (New York, USA, 1967).
Tunick, known worldwide for his shots in public places nude models, forced its extras to get up early and stay in their positions for more than five hours for his new book The base (the base). The event is part of the festival of gay and lesbian Mardi Gras festival being held this month in the largest city in Australia, which began this morning the austral autumn with a little cold and rain.
However, the time something cooler than previous days did not prevent the initiative far exceeded the forecasts of participation, said the photographer neoyorquno. "The main challenge was to fill this space as large a base of gay, lesbian and heterosexual to create the material," Tunick said, surprised by the huge number of participants who flocked to his call. "I want the couples to kiss, to kiss friends and those who do not know what they want," said the artist to the press while organizing bodies for the massive naked.
Tunick gave instructions through a megaphone to their models to many cameras television and press photographers covering the event. The photographer made them pose for some shots standing with arms raised, in others, made them embrace each other and also made images of all the bodies lying on top of the stairs.
The event, involving people of all ages, sizes and types, ended with a huge applause. Spencer Tunick said that this event, "in which gay men and women posed nude alongside their heterosexual neighbors, issued an important message to the world that Australians want a free and egalitarian society."
