Hundreds of people wearing only white body paint have walked across a stark desert expanse near the Dead Sea, part of the latest photography project of American artist Spencer Tunick, Guardian reports.
Seb learnt that over 200 people covered
only in white body paint modelled for Tunick as volunteers of ages between 18
and 70. They had lined up across the desert near the Dead Sea in rows of 10 on
Sunday and awaited instructions from the artist, who was perched on a ladder
with a megaphone and a camera.
The 54-year-old photographer visited the spot in southern Israel as a guest of the tourism ministry to portray for the third time the shrinking Dead Sea via nude subjects.
“For
me the body represents beauty and life and love,” said Tunick.
Tunick
depicted more than 1,000 nude models a decade ago on the shores of the salty
Dead Sea, which is receding by about a metre a year.
