2,500 people have braved the cold and rain this morning in Dublin’s Docklands by stripping down to their birthday suits for a sensational photoshoot by acclaimed photographer Spencer Tunick.
Today’s dawn chorus of naked volunteers flashing their goose-pimpled flabby bits is the second massive naked photoshoot in Ireland this week. Tunick organised a similar gathering on Tuesday at Blarney Castle in Co Cork, as part of the Cork Midsummer Festival, 1,100 attended that shoot.
The shoot today was at a brisk 05:00am, volunteer models had been camped out all night to secure their place in what is really quite ground breaking art. Only two locations were used for the shoot this morning as bad weather and poor light hampered opportunities.
The first shoot was at South Wall where the models, all aged over 18, were instructed to stand or lie in different poses by Tunick.
The second shoot took the models down by Poolbeg Power Station, where passing freight ferries sounded their horns at the sight of thousands of naked bodies. At this time the rain began to pour, and with spirits dampened the photoshoots were called to a halt.
Every volunteer will receive a limited edition photograph of the event.
