Nude In South Beach Florida For The Sake Of Art

A world renowned photographer will be asking hundreds of people to take off their clothes for the sake of art in Miami on Oct. 8, 2007. Spencer Tunick treated his 500 nude models to a topless lunch after photographing them on hotel balconies and on rafts in a pool. One has to wonder if Tunick's installations are beginning to border on self-parody. Artist Spencer Tunick, who photographs masses of people in the nude, will capture the image of 800 people sans clothes at the Sagamore Hotel for a piece that will be unveiled during Miami Beach's annual Art Basel festivities in December, reports CBS station WFOR-TV in Miami.

The first group of bare volunteers crowded 15 of the hotel's balconies that face east. When Tunick, perched with his cameras on a cherry picker, gave the word over a bullhorn, they all dropped their clothes. Tunick, who has shot naked mobs all over the world, wanted them in their birthday suits, no jewelry, no glasses, no nothing.

Kimane McKenzie, a 24-year-old website designer from Fort Lauderdale, was stressing when he showed up the hotel.
"I'm very nervous right now," he said, voice shaky. "But I've been bungee jumping, and I know the feeling. You hope for the best, and when it's over, you feel great. I do it for the thrill seeking I guess."
Tunick, whose images can fetch between $30,000 and $50,000, planned to shoot through most of the day and end the installation with a thank-you barbecue for participants. But he'll ask them to party topless. And he'll keep on shooting.

His Sagamore images will be unveiled in December during an Art Basel brunch at the hotel.
