Biography
Spencer Tunick is a contemporary American photographer whose unique practice centers around the nude, photographing massive crowds of nude people in complex performances. The author began his career in 1992, the number of those who posed did not exceed a dozen, but over time, in 2007, Tunick organized a shoot of more than 18,000 participants, who laid down nude in loosely organized rows, covering Mexico City’s Zocalo Square. Spencer Tunick’s photographs seek to complicate purely erotic associations of the naked body. He photographs small and large groups of naked people in natural and urban landscapes, such as Times Square, the Dead Sea, the Sydney Opera House, and the beaches of Maui. The bodies extend into and upon the landscape like a substance. These group masses, which do not underscore sexuality, often become abstractions that challenge or reconfigure one's views of nudity and privacy. Tunick has said that his work is "about the freedom to own your body. The government does not own your body. It’s definitely the body being touched with the environment and the social order of things". Spencer has and continues to make group installations/photographs elevating awareness of HIV/AIDS, LGBTQ rights, equality and climate change, among other issues. In recent years, the artist has turned to painting in order to highlight the ways the body is politicized.
