All I saw was thousands and thousands and thousands of people following me – and they were still entering the hall. A coffee station had been set up for the participants and a queue for a welcome caffeine shot soon formed. A huge ... more

Ator Experience Barcelona This is my personal account of participating at the Photographic “Installation” dreamt up by the Artist - Spencer Tunick at the Avenida de la Reina María Cristina Placa d’Espayna, Barcelona on Sunday 08 June 2003. It was the culmination of having waited and (literally) planned for weeks for this moment, to find myself in Barcelona one very hot Saturday afternoon in June 2003. So, what was I doing there?

Life drawing is all about breasts and bottoms (ok, stop with the sniggering boys), legs and arms, faces and toes - all put together in the right order...to make a human being. I've always been quite creative. I studied Art up to A level and spent every spare second locked away in my bedroom sketching and painting. I even drew on my bedroom walls - much to the disgust and anger of my mother! Then when it came to filling out my UCAS form, many anguished months were spent tossing coins. Heads English, Tails Art. In the end a very persuasive English teacher ... Read the complete review
