Naked World

A globally scaled follow-up to April 2001's highly rated Naked States: America Undercover, this documentary follows the celebrated and controversial artist Spencer Tunick on his latest, most ambitious project: a one-year trek to all seven continents to take photographs of naked people, individually and in groups, against various man-made and natural backdrops. Over the course of one year, all seven continents (including Antarctica - BRRRRR!) and nine countries (Canada, France, Great Britain, Ireland, Russia, Australia, Japan, South Africa and Brazil), Tunick and his crew map out an ambitious agenda that says as much about the cultures he encounters as it does about the subjects and landmarks he photographs. The film questions what nakedness means to people in different countries and climates, both geographic and political, and underscores just how volatile the debate about nudity as a legitimate art form can be.

Product Notes

Spencer Tunick gathers dozen, hundreds, sometimes thousands of people, has them strip naked, and then photographs them. The resulting images work on macro and micro levels: one might view the nudes as a sea of color in the landscape, or look for the specific angles and details of an individual person. The images are, by turns, beautiful, funny, unsettling, and absurd. The world's only mass nude photographer, Tunick has captured the imagination of people across the world, and wherever he goes he finds hundreds of volunteers ready to model for his unique work.

In NAKED WORLD, the follow-up documentary to NAKED STATES, documentarian Arlene Donnelly follow Tunick as he sets off to photograph nudes--in numbers ranging from one to 4,500--on all seven continents. Tunick travels to Paris, St. Petersburg, Melbourne, Tokyo, Cape Town, and even Antarctica in his fascinating artistic adventure. Along the way, Donnelly investigates the psychological, political, and cultural forces that invariably revolve around the public nude. She shows the shame and elation experienced by the subjects, the challenges of staging such large-scale "installations," and also the widely varied responses to Tunick's work in different countries (Parisians show a surprising distrust of the endeavor, while in St. Petersburg the Russians are eager to display their liberal sentiments). NAKED WORLD reveals a compelling and provocative artist at work on his most ambitious project.
