The naked ambition of Spencer Tunick – in pictures
Spencer Tunick’s forthcoming exhibition at the Reflex gallery in Amsterdam (Public Interventions, 17 September-1 November) is his first commercial show in a decade. In the interim, the American photographer, famous for shooting nudes en masse in public spaces, has started to include more “whimsical objects”, such as “fabric, body paint, solar lights, mirrors and even nautical buoys”. He draws the line at actual clothing, however. “Fashion is someone else’s art,” he says. “I have ideas of objects worn as if they are clothes, but not actual clothing. I am eternally obsessed with naked pavement.”
