Thousands strip off

Jun 23 2008

More than 2,500 hardy souls braved torrential rain for a massive nude photoshoot by acclaimed contemporary artist Spencer Tunick.

Volunteers stripped naked in Dublin’s Docklands for the dawn spectacle, under grey clouds and fighting a chill wind blowing off the Irish sea.

Tunick, who has been documenting the live nude figure in public since 1992, has created scores of images in spectacular locations including New York, Amsterdam and Mexico City.
