| I have long been an admirer of Spencer Tunick’s
work. What I find especially interesting is the public’s reaction, as well
as the point of view of the participant. Now, I’m happy to say, I am a
participant and know what it's really like to let go of everything and
be just a person with nothing. It hadn't occurred to me just how powerful
what we put on identifies us in our society.
For me the essence of Spencer Tunick’s work is that we are ultimately all the same; his medium is ordinary people and his camera. It was a terrific experience that reinforced the notion that regardless of our physical size, color or sex, humans are basically all alike. Upon arrival we were asked to wait in the Grill Room of The Four Seasons restaurant. There was plenty of time to relax and see everyone who would be participating. Many people casually introduced themselves, asking how they learned of the shoot and why they came. I met a couple that had been in four previous Tunick projects. |
