6,000 Colombians pose naked for peace
About 6,000 Colombians both male and female braved the freezing cold to strip n*ked for a peace photo shoot. About 6,000 people in Colombia braved 7 degree chills to pose n*de in Bogota's main public square to pose n*ked for peace.
The gathering was organised by Spencer Tunick, an American photographer best known for organizing large-scale nude shoots. This is coming as the government in the conflict-torn country closes in on a peace deal with leftist rebels of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia.
Tunick said his aim was to 'just show the body as a beautiful organic entity that transforms the space, the governmental space of the square.'
He had some participants pose at various heights. Some of them almost seemed to be suspended in mid-air.
'It's an honour to be here at this moment when life is changing and hopefully a peace agreement will be signed,'he said.
Bolivar Square is home to Colombia's congress, city hall, supreme court and a major cathedral.
In Colombia, a diverse country with deep inequalities and roots in Europe, Africa and the Americas, Tunick said he was hoping his photo shoot would attract 'an alphabet soup of skin tonalities, ethnicities, people from all walks of life.'
