I dunno what to think some weeks ago he broke a record of 18, 000 nude people in mexico city's Zocalo. He breaks with taboos. His pcitures are interesting. But sometimes you cant  quite tell the images hes trying to form. Is his value more artistic or social?

    I don't consider his photography pornography or even erotica. I don't think the nude bodies are sexualized at all. Not sure what I think it means, but I do think it's an interesting idea. The photographs, as well as the phenomenon of several thousand strangers getting naked in public.


    Just one woman's opinion.

    I think it is art I just put that as a headline to get people thinking and because the catholic church in Mexico denoouced the photo session as blasphemus because it happened in front of Mexico City's Main Cathedral. another interesting thing that happned is that as soon as people began to put their clothes back on especially men they began or better said continued to see women with libidinous eyes according to many participants and witnesses. I want to see the 100 Fridas Picture when it comes out.

    i have a feeling his entire message is that a naked body isn't necessarily erotic.

    tania, not surprising that the Church called it blasphemous. I like his cheekiness, arranging the people right in front of the Cathedral. ;) A nice little tweak to authority. I hope the photographs eventually make their way to his gallery sites.

    Tania......he uses nudity as a blasphemy but just because he wants to show that a body is just a body therefore can be extrapolated by its sexuality.

    He gives our body some rest....make us think about our bodies in different way... .isnt it relaxing not having to be a sexual thing but only a body like a rock is only a rock?

    He tells us that we are the ones giving the body its meaning depending by the contexts and the uses we do of the bodies...

    his message is revolutionary in this significance...

    this art, not pornography....because he forces us to watch at the body in a different perspective....

    No surprise the Church screamed of blasphemy...

    Our nude body is the closest thing we have close to Nature...

    I think what he does is great. I thought however that he gave people a little money or gift for posing  a little incentive for the people  that pose wouldn't hurt he makes thousands or even millions off those photos

    Missmimi I read your blog entry on spencer tunick very well written. I still don't think I would do it though.

Art...
Art is different for kids than it is for adults. It is very important for children to be able to create arts and crafts on their own without copying from an adults model...
