Spencer Tunick

American photographer Spencer Tunick has been taking pictures of nude people in public places since 1992, and apparently the mix of red, white and blue (it's really what our skin looks like!) hues all piled together hasn't given him any nightmares yet. This time, he chose Dusseldorf as the backdrop for his latest project. This particular installation was part of Quadrenniale 06, the first edition of an art festival which is set to take place every four years. And on the one hand, I'm like: Get over yourself. Photographing nude people is so overdone. But his juxtaposition of these bodies with large, urban structures is worth a look. Sign up to participate here.
