The international trajectory of photographer Spencer Tunick who specializes in monumental public installations with bare people. This is the second film by the director about the artist. The first, Naked States (1999), covered the artist’s endeavors photographing bare bodies in fifty U.S. states. We can now observe the progress of Tunick worldwide, with multitudes of volunteers bare in Rome, in Montreal, or in Munich. He was in São Paulo for the 25th Bienal, in 2002 and led 1200 people to strip bare in Ibirapuera Park. And it is these impressive scenes in São Paulo that bring the film to a close. One of the highlights takes place in Russia, where the session of photographs was in front of a St. Petersburg church. The French sequences are disappointing, when the Paris authorities prohibit Tunick’s installations in front of the Louvre Museum. The record in number of persons goes to Melbourne when 4500 persons appeared naked, exceeding all expectations.
