Very Naked in Vienna


Finally, a creative way to promote a soccer match! This May, 2,008 naked people will pose for renowned photographer Spencer Tunick in Vienna as part of the run up to the Euro 2008 Tournament.

The photo shoot will happen at Ernst Happel Stadium, host of the Euro 2008 final in late June. While 2,000+ seems substantial, it will not even come close to Tunick's largest shoot of over 18,000 in Mexico City last year.

Exciting? Sure. Quotable? Not necessarily. "This very special ephemeral installation that we are inviting you to be part of is devised to capture and combine the spirit of sports, the grand sweeping waves of stadium architecture and the abstract relation of the human form to modern structures," organizers said in a statement. Riiiight.
