"Naked in Mexico" was a documentray aired on Sky Arts about the performance work of Spencer Tunick.
His work is a combination of photography and performances.
The above image is taken in Mexico on May 6th 2007 18,000 people posed for him outside Mexico Citys principle square the Zocalo.
"Artist Spencer Tunick has been documenting the live nude figure in public, with photography and video, since 1992. since 1994 he has organised over 75 temporary site-specific installations around the world. Tunick's installations encompass dozens, hundreds or thousands of volunteers: and his photographs are records of these events. The individuals en masse, without their clothing, grouped together metamorphose into a new shape. the bodies extend into and upon the landscape like a substance. These grouped masses which do not underscore sexuality become abstractions that challenge or reconfigure one's views of nudity and privacy. The work also refers to the complex issue of presenting art in permanent or temporary public spaces."
