Sleeping beauties art festival Belgium


The latest nude photo installation by daring U.S. artist Spencer Tunick, has seen 800 volunteers shed their clothes in the name of art.

The piece, entitled 'Sleeping Beauties' took place in the grounds of Gaasbeek's Castle in Belgium, 6 miles south of the capital Brussels.

Tunick specialises in nude outdoor photography, and has been taking pictures in unusual locations since he began in 1986, taking pictures of nudes outside Alleyn's School in Dulwich, South London.

His project have grown increasingly more ambitious as time has gone on, with his largest ever project seeing 18,000 people posing for him in Mexico City's principal square, called the Zocalo.



All the models are unpaid volunteers who receive a limited edition photo as compensation.
