Not for a cause but for artistic photography, 18,000 people stripped themselves to pose for U.S. photographic artist Spencer Tunick on Sunday in Mexico City’s Zocalo square.
Tunick is a very famous photographer who is best known for photographs which features ‘nude’ masses posed in artistic formations. In 1986, he photographed a nude at London bus stand and this became his gateway to artistic nude photography.
Can you believe it - he has been arrested many times for his work (five times in New York). However, the charges against him has always dropped shortly thereafter. This time in Mexico, he knocks down his own record - of 7,000 volunteers set in 2003 in Barcelona, Spain - by posing over 18,000 nude volunteers.
Some criticized this as an offense against church. But, delighted volunteer like Fabiola Herrera said, “This event proves that really we’re not such a conservative society anymore. We’re freeing ourselves of taboos.”

Having done some professional photography, which included making documentary films, the logistics of shooting such a large mass of people that too in the nude is simply mind boggling.
Spencer Tunick, as a photographer you have done the impossible.
