Looks like Israel is about to join the list of places where American photographer Spencer Tunick has taken one of his mass nude photographs. You can see his previous work here.

Personally, I find his pictures somewhat disturbing. In my world, masses of naked bodies, especially when lying down like in this picture, are automatically associated with pictures of the holocaust. That said, some of his art is more optimistic than that, when using specific layouts for the bodies (people?).
Whatever you think about Tunick’s work, looks like he’s about to do at least two shoots here in Israel: one in Tel Aviv harbor and the other in the Dead Sea (good luck to him getting hundreds of people to get there for the shootout). According to this article, the Ministry of Tourism has approved both shoots, and Tel Aviv welcomes it even.
Judging from the comments, some people are offended. They mention the “holiness” of the country as their main objection, which makes me in favor of the initiative 
Anything to make this country a bit more secular and less holy is fine by me.
That said, makes me wonder about the locations… Imagine if he wanted to do this in Jerusalem… He could have brought together religious Muslims and Jews for a one of a kind furious demonstration against him! World peace (or Jerusalem Peace) through nude pictures!
What do you think about a mass nude shoot in Israel? Any suggestions for locations?

I think this is really disturbing picture. I cannot even imagine to see so many nude bodies.

I think it’s weird. I have nothing against it, as long as nobody is forced to do it, and I have no reason to believe that is the case. But it’s probably not the kind of photographs (or art?) that I would want on my wall – or even bother looking at.
