Rescuing the Dead Sea
Fifteen people got into Mineral Beach at the Dead Sea in the early
morning. They came to be photographed in the nude in a project by
photographer Spencer Tunick. In two thousand one the Israeli Ministry of
Tourism invited Tunick to Israel for a photography project that would help
rescue the Dead Sea. A thousand people were photographed naked for
Tunick’s project then. Now Tunick returns to photograph at the same
beach, which has been closed during this time because of sinkholes.
Spencer Tunick isn’t just a photographer, but a social activist as well. Two
months ago he photographed a large nude project in the United States, as
protest of racist things Donald Trump had said. Spencer came to Israel in
order to help rescue the Dead Sea, and also in honor of his exhibition
(they’re) opening in a gallery in Tel Aviv.
