| Naked States represents a five-month journey across North America in which Spencer Tunick photographed nudes in every state. He traveled through cities and rural locales, searching for individuals who were interested in forming new American landscapes. The challenge of breaking past limitations imposed by regional mores created a dynamic tension between the bodies and the outside world. The end result is a combination of the artist's America Zone series of one and two-person nudes and his Reaction Zone series, group nudes of over 100 people framed by vast undefined spaces, combining elements of performance, sculpture and installation. |
| In July 2001, Spencer Tunick will begin Nude Adrift, an around-the-world trip to photograph nudes in foreign countries. Bringing the term "traveling artist" into the next century, Tunick will explore various people and their cultures, experiencing place and poetry through images of human nakedness. |
| Tunick is currently building a database of volunteers for Nude Adrift. He's seeking people to pose, assistants to help organize, and places to sleep during his travels. Please visit spencertunick.com if you would like to help in any of these capacities, both in the U.S. and abroad. |
