I’m in two Spencer Tunick photos (no I won’t post them or tell you which ones). He’s an artist I respect greatly, and am glad he’s bringing his talents to bear (no pun intended- not!) for the environment.
Truthdig – Ear to the Ground – The Skinny on Climate Change:
Greenpeace says the human body is as fragile as glaciers like the Aletsch in southern Switzerland and the world’s environment. The glacier itself is now shrinking by about 100 metres (110 yards) a year.
“I want my images to go more than skin-deep. I want the viewers to feel the vulnerability of their existence and how it relates closely to the sensitivity of the world’s glaciers,” Tunick said.
The group hopes its billboard and poster campaign showing people exposed to the cold will send a shiver down the spines of public opinion and politicians, and convince them to do more to tackle pollution and climate change.
