6/9/2003: Spencer Tunick in Barcelona
This one is getting wide coverage by the "regular" media, but IotD has been studious at picking up all the Spence Tunick stuff from the very beginning.
Again, Mr. Tunick is a photographer who is specializing in shooting nudes in wide-open public space. This meant that yesterday, about 7000 people (a new record) stripped off and settled down in the public square in Barcelona, Spain for the purpose of art.
It should always be noted that this is a news image (of sorts) and not the actual art image that Tunick is creating. He had the people "pose" in at least two different positions to get a different look and feel. In another shot that I saw, the people were in turtle-like positions and you saw a sea of backs.
Someone on one of the news channels pointed out that Mr. Tunick is shooting internationally because of the amount of hassle he's had in shooting nudes at home. In fact -- I didn't know -- he's been arrested five times in NYC. But he doesn't get that sort of flak overseas.
In response, I'm posting the most graphic image I could find of the event, my own tiny little shot across the bow of the culture wars. IotD is not porn, but it's adult, and we all know and understand the difference.

Why do I keep visualizing a steamroller in this image?

I have a friend who lives in Barcelona - I wonder if he's there?

What's not adult about masturbation?

Better qualify that a bit. Your average male teenager could jerk off to Salvador Dali and Piet Mondrian...

So of course upon closer inspection there appears to be one guy who is visibly at 'full mast'.
Sort of like a game of 'Where's Waldo'.

Mmmm..Bar-B-Que. Imagine trying to roll 7000 over before the last one gets burned.

Unfortunately that is not the right image for that post. That's not a Tunick there. I must have blown it and chosen identical filenames and accidentally not noticed the overlap. Damn.
ndetroit Tuesday Jun 10 02:14 AM
ok. I give up. Where *is* waldo?
Skunks Tuesday Jun 10 03:55 AM
It might be a foot, but take a look straight down from the rightmost lightpost in front of the building entrance.
I'll highlight in Photoshop if that's too imprecise.
Beletseri Tuesday Jun 10 08:04 AM
All those people look so much the same. Where are the fat ones, the old ones, the non-white ones, the really skinny ones? How did he find so many adults all with more or less the same phenotype?

I suspect he might be herding all the people who don't fit his ideal to the less visible parts of the photos.
Naturists indeed do come in all shapes and sizes ... it's about comfort with your body and celebrating that with joy, regardless of lovehandles and stretch marks.
No lawsuit. You can bet he's in Europe, not America, for more than one reason.

These aren't <b>his</b> photos, though - they're that of the news organization. For about the twelve billionth time. We haven't seen his yet.

I can spot two men in the foreground who have erections, though they aren't necessarily at ninety degrees. You can notice a little blip rising above their legs. The guy in the center foreground has a definite erection, and the guy just past the redhead does too.
There is one guy who appears to have a foot at just the right place that richlevy might be talking about, but that's just a foot.

I wish I had a foot.

Originally posted by Torrere Are you saying that you are missing one of your feet, or are you saying that you wish that you had a foot between your legs instead of a penis? The latter makes more sense in context, but that would be terrible, man! |
'Hey Babe, want to go for a walk on the wild side?'
'Hey Babe, I've got something you'd get a kick out of!'
or maybe as an insult...
Hey, sock my foot!
