Perverts, voyeurs, nudists and everyday patrons of the Arts emerged from their homes to disrobe like hairy-arsed butterflies from the cocoon for the sake of art and diversity earlier this morning. Over 5,000 peeps bared their bums, boobs and NSFW parts along the steps of the Sydney Opera House to participate in renowned photographer Spencer Tunick's latest art piece, Mardi Gras: The Base.
The timely date of Tunick's latest installation was selected to coincide with Sydney's Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras, to emphasize and celebrate the sameness of individuals - regardless of their sexual preferences. Tunick spoke about this morning's shoot saying: "Gay men and women lay naked next to their straight neighbours and this delivered a very strong message to the world that Australians embrace a free and equal society." And each other.
We're curious about how the shoot worked on an operational level - i.e. Did participants take off their clothes out in the open or do you just jump straight out of a cab with your boobs/willy on display? Were there any seedy types strutting around smiling broadly with huge erections? Did the cold impact the performance? How does it all get choreographed?
If you participated in this morning's shoot we'd love to hear about your experience.

Yes the wind was freezing and their were a lot of blue liped faces yet the butt clapping was funny as (clappng both hands to each cheek of you butt instead of together). And besides who can honestly say the first time they were inside the opera house they were naked and not arrested.
