WARNING: LOTS OF PHOTOS OF MASSES OF NUDE BODIES AT LINK!

Calling all feminist activists, nudists, Cleveland-based Democrats, and people overdue for a laundry day. Photographer Spencer Tunick is looking for 100 bold women to pose nude for a Cleveland-based photo shoot on July 17, 2016. Also — you’ll be baring all at the Republican National Convention.

If you’re not familiar with Tunick’s work, allow me to briefly summarize: naked people, lots of them. Since the 1990s, Tunick has organized over 70 massive photo shoots in locations spanning the globe, in which hundreds or thousands of people strip down to revel in the glory of unmediated human flesh. In the artist’s words: “individuals en masse, without their clothing, grouped together, metamorphose into a new shape.“

Snapped from a distance, his final images often resemble a skin-colored mountain range or fleshy ocean waves. Individual body types are lost to the overwhelming impact of the naked whole.

For this particular shoot, titled “Everything She Says Means Everything,” 100 naked women will hold up large mirror discs that, according to the artist’s website, represent “reflecting the knowledge and wisdom of progressive women and the concept of ‘Mother Nature’” onto the convention center where the RNC is taking place.
