US artist Spencer Tunick shoots mass ***** photo on Story Bridge

Thousands of men and women have stripped ****** on Brisbane’s iconic Story Bridge to take part in a dramatic art ******.

New York artist Spencer Tunick orchestrated the remarkable sight, with thousands of bare-bottomed people strolling through Brisbane before posing on the bridge.

The event formed part of the Melt Festival, which celebrates ****** and LGBT culture.

“New York-based contemporary artist Spencer Tunick is seeking volunteers for a monumental installation on his return to Brisbane in 2024 as part of the inaugural Melt, the city’s major new festival celebrating ****** art and culture,” Melt’s website stated in preparation for the peculiar sight.

“The installation for Melt will take place across Brisbane’s iconic Story Bridge on Sunday 27 October 2024.

“The bridge will be closed for this art event which will feature thousands of live ***** figures in celebration of diversity, equity, inclusion and Brisbane’s vibrant LGBTQIA+ community and allies.”

Photos from Sunday show the bridge packed to the brim with ****** bodies.

In one shot, everyone crouches over on all fours, their heads turned into their chests.

In another, everyone ***** flat on their backs, with their arms flat beside them.

The Story Bridge shot follows Mr Tunick’s mass ***** photos at other iconic landmarks including Bondi Beach and the Sydney Opera House.

The Brisbane Powerhouse is hosting a Tunick exhibition called Tide, showcasing his long career in photographing mass nudes.

“In his early group works, the individuals en masse, without their clothing, grouped together, metamorphose into a new shape,” the exhibition website states.

“The bodies extend into and upon the landscape like a substance.

“These group masses, which do not underscore sexuality, often become abstractions that challenge or reconfigure one’s views of nudity and privacy.

“The work also refers to the complex issue of presenting art in permanent or temporary public spaces.”

The exhibition runs from September 28 to November 10.
