5/12/2005: More naked art: Tunick in Brussels

Photographer Spencer Tunick is still at it - this time in the town of Bruegge. He got 2000 naked people out to the streets, but since it was cold and rainy they decided to take over a local theatre instead.

Google-translated German article from Yahoo

"The 28-jaehrige Charlotte Logghe explained, it had prevailed a good zusammengehoerigkeitsgefuehl, but it was extremely cold unfortunately."

I do enjoy a good zusammengehoerigkeitsgefuehl.

(pulls fire alarm and sits back with a box of junior mints)

He doesn't seem to have realized his 15 minutes are up.

The various shapes and sizes of people just amaze me...

Somebody keeps giving him extra minutes in the form of money. Or is he independently wealthy?

I'd be more impressed if they were performing the Das Rheingold naked.

'cause when the men hit the high notes, you can really see it in those testicles.

Obviously the people who are seated are less endowed.............

I hope they all showered first.

Or so much MORE endowed that the people in front of them would have to move...

There was an HBO (Showtime, some cable movie channel or other) piece about Tunick. It was actually very good.

I rather like what he is doing. It is a sociologically complex undertaking for starters, and the juxtaposition of the myriad of human body types against constructed things/natural settings evokes a similarly complex set of internal reactions for me.

I think what I appreciate most about Tunick's work is that it really drives home the point that there is absolutely nothing sexual, prurient or nasty about human nudity.

Gosh TS, I love it when you talk dirty.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm just a veritable fountain of effervescent effluvia.

Let's put the theory to the test. This Tunick image is all of women. Note that it is in a train station, for all of you Freud fans.

I do find all of the different skin tones interesting, especially the one pale woman in the bottom middle.

I wonder if Europe is this diverse?

I notice they are a lot closer (much touching) than the mixed crowd.

If you just added a large pizza and a pitcher of beer, it would pretty much match up with a dream I once had.

Menage a deux cent? Eh?

The first time you can't get it up for the second time is not as bad as the second time you can't get it up the first time.

Is anyone else completely bored by Spencer Tunick? We get it already... lotsa naked people. Every time I see a Tunick IOTD I just skip it.

But it's different naked people. Horse race, dog show, flower show, etc, etc, would be the same way.

beg to differ. i don't want to see a horse race with 2 racehorses, a foundered mule and three chickens.

for that matter, I don't want to see a dog show where they're all shaved and propped up so you can see their genitalia. At least, not since completing my court-ordered therapy.
