Thousands Get Naked in Mexico City’s Zócalo

An estimated 20,000 people disrobed in the main plaza, all for the lens of photographer Spencer Tunick. Reports the Washington Post: “His arrival was preceded by weighty philosophical battles about public nudity. The prominent Mexican art critic Raquel Tibol declared that Tunick’s photos would be ‘an antidote to Mexican prudishness,’ while the Spanish critic Roman Gubern sniffed that the photographer’s work is redundant and doesn’t appear artistic.” Tunick’s first choice for the photo shoot was Teotihuacan, with its ancient ruins, but the government refused him that.
