The Spencer Tunick ‘Sydney Opera House’ art project has the famous American artist photographing 5,200 people in their birthday suits in front of the Opera House. For over an hour Spencer Tunick captured pictures of the crowd embracing each other while posed against the architectural backdrop of the Sydney Opera House.

Spencer Tunick is notorious for his group shots of naked people in famous public spaces, and this venue is just another addition to his growing portfolio. Kind of makes you wonder where this artist will go next...
