Avenue of Illusion

At first glance this is a nice photo of the avenue leading to the Institut de Cultura in Barcelona, Spain. But this particular morning the landscape has changed. The normally quiet street is packed with about 7000 people.

That's right before you is an avenue paved with 7000 nude bodies (all volunteers). The artist for this installation is Spencer Tunick. He has been documenting the live nude figure in public, with photography and video, since 1992. Check out the artist's site.
