Tunick's aim was to recreate Lowry's work by capturing the movements of everyday people, it just happened that these people were naked. He is photographing the models in 8 different locations in and around Manchester.
9,000 people applied to be in the 1,00 models the photographer used for his work, he thinks that people have started to accept his contreversial work and now want to be a part of it.
Spencer Tunick explains, “Salford and Manchester presents an intriguing prospect for my latest UK installation based both on the rich industrial heritage that exists across both cities and the art of LS Lowry. LS Lowry's paintings depicting the mass of everyday people who contributed to the industrial machine of the 20th century, also provide an interesting frame of reference in terms of the compositional possibilities of the installations.”
This exhibition is being considered for our art review section in Something Beautiful.
