Oh boy. Now that Trump is the last remaining candidate for the Republican presidential nomination, it’s all getting VERY real over in the US of A. All roads lead to Cleveland Ohio, where the Republicans' version of Coachella, their National Convention, will kick off in July and endorse Trump as the candidate to run for President in November.
To commemorate the very special occasion, famous photographer, Spencer Tunick (ironically, two items of clothing) is trying to organise a mass naked protest.
Tunick put the call out for the rudey-nudey protest on Twitter:
In the post on his website, Tunick has requested 100 women to hold large mirror discs to “reflect the knowledge and wisdom of progressive women and the concept of ‘Mother Nature’ in to and onto the convention center, cityscape and horizon of Cleveland.”
"The mirrors communicate that we are a reflection of ourselves, each other, and of, the world that surrounds us. The woman becomes the future and the future becomes the woman.”
“The philosophy of the artwork relates to the idea of the sacred feminine,” Tunick writes. “By holding mirrors, we hope to suggest that women are a reflection and embodiment of nature, the sun, the sky and the land. We want to express the belief that we will rely upon the strength, intuition and wisdom of progressive and enlightened women to find our place in nature and to regain the balance within it. The mirrors communicate that we are a reflection of ourselves, each other, and of, the world that surrounds us. The woman becomes the future and the future becomes the woman.”
The project is called “Everything She Says She Means” and fortunately for the participants it will be during the middle of an American summer, so don’t expect fripples.
