New York photographer Spencer Tunick, best known for staging photos with hundreds, often thousands of naked people in public settings, is planning his largest photo shoot ever this Sunday, May 6th in Mexico City (English translation). It will feature and estimated 6,000-9,000 naked Mexicans and take place in The Zócalo, Mexico City’s famous city square, which once was the center of the Aztec Empire.

If you are in Mexico City this Sunday and want to participate, it looks like the registration is still open. Wikipedia has more on Spencer Tunick.

Here’s more coverage from Reuters, Associated Press and The Art Newspaper.

UPDATE: Spencer broke his record, shooting photos of over 18,000 naked people in Mexico City.

Mr. Tunick

I think all of your photos are very clean and very beautiful, I use to see them on the cable channels and I think they were all beautiful, I wish you can take one of me alone or with another male, dude if I had more thumbs besides the two I have I would give you ten thumbs up on all your photos you have taken, keep up the good and beautiful work you do.

Keep the good job going
