Nudity For Political Purposes
Over the weekend American artist Spencer Tunick completed one of his most ambitious photographic projects to date when 1,200 nude volunteers modelled for him in the Dead Sea, Israel before dawn on Saturday. It was his first Middle East mass shoot and Israeli tourism officials hope the project will help draw attention to the Dead Sea in a competition to find the new Seven Wonders of the World. It would be even nicer if the project could bring even a moment’s worth of peace to the country’s Palestinians.
