“People need that connection, need this sort of platonic, physical, naked art action.”
Tunick has started Stay Apart Together, a new project that takes the photographer’s most common themes – human connection, the power of mass action, the courage of baring yourself – and places them within this era of strain and isolation. Stay Apart Together involves Tunick hosting a 100-person video chat directing nude volunteers, all of whom are joining in from the confines of their homes. Instead of using a camera to capture the right moment, Tunick takes a screenshot.
Applications for Tunick’s latest project are now open – and Australia’s the first country in the world to get the call-up.
