A Revealing
Portrait Of An Artist And His Subjects
Being nude in public can be exhilarating, profound, hysterical or just plain
awkward. In this follow-up to Naked States, director Arlene Donnelly
Nelson takes us along for the ride as artist Spencer Tunick invites
thousands of people of all races, shapes and sizes out of their clothes and
into the streets for art's sake.
Spanning nine countries on seven continents, Tunick's "Nude Adrift" project
calls into question what nakedness means to people in different climates,
both geographic and political. The journey takes Tunick to Russia in front
of St. Petersburg's Church of the Savior in Spilled Blood, to abortive
attempts in front of the Louvre Museum in "liberated" Paris, to the staging
of a "bodyscape" of 4,500 Australians in Melbourne and to icebergs in
Antarctica. These installations Tunick creates and the resulting artwork
capture the common urge to engage in a forthright, unembarrassed celebration
of pure humanity.
