Mind Carlberg's art project Naked with as Chair in Second Life reminded me of Spencer Tunick's many nude photo shoots around the world.
Spencer Tunick's Melbourne nude photos released in vivid colour
Freya Michie, 15 December 2018, ABC News Online
"The 860 Melburnians who stripped off in the name of art for a nude photo shoot during the heart of Melbourne's winter will today see the works they took part in. The naked men and women joined a series of photo shoots in July by internationally renowned photographer Spencer Tunick. The final four selected images taken during the Return of the Nude photo shoots are being released today, and participants will receive limited edition prints at a gathering in Prahran, in Melbourne's inner south-east. A virtual reality video and mobile app showing the staging of the photographs will also be released. The photo shoots sparked controversy when supermarket giant Woolworths initially denied Tunick access to one of its Prahran carparks. The company said it was concerned about the impact on its customers at a weekend, but a compromise was reached when organisers rescheduled the shoot for a Monday morning. The photo shoot went ahead in streets around the busy retail strip, Chapel Street, with participants describing it as a "beautiful, respectful" experience."
