The photograph used for the puzzle is a multitude of people covered in colored body makeup (paint). Each person was given a small jar of paint which they then applied themselves, to their own bodies. The artist was then able to make movable human abstract paintings in a performative manner. This communal process of art-making which included the general public in the art, is very uplifting and often therapeutic to the participant. Tunick strives to create work that is informed by that understanding and continues to visually explore bodies holistically as forms of breaking barriers.

Spencer Tunick’s photographs complicates purely erotic associations of the naked body. He photographs installations of small and large groups of naked people in natural and urban landscapes, such as Times Square, the Dead Sea, and the Sydney Opera House. In 2007, The artist organized a photographic installation of more than 18,000 participants, who laid down nude in loosely organized rows, covering Mexico City’s Zocalo Square and the arid deserts of Mexico. His photographs constitute impromptu social events that, in spite of the awkwardness of public nudity, encourage positive attitudes toward the naked body. Tunick has said that his work is “about the freedom to own your body.” The government does not own your body. It’s definitely the body being touched with the environment and the social order of things.“

This year, the artist has turned to working with the live nude groups using video conferencing in order to continue his art during times of isolation and quarantine. He is posting these works on his Instagram for the time being @spencertunick
