New York photographic artist Spencer Tunic has gained fame due to large-scale photo installations, which involve hundreds - and sometimes thousands - of naked people. Such actions from time to time pass around the world: the most numerous took place in 2007 in Mexico City - then Tunica managed to attract about 18 thousand volunteers.

A month ago, the artist announced that the next shooting will take place in Melbourne, on one of the central streets of the city. To participate Tunic called all adults of "any form, any size, any nationality".

However, the other day it became known that the planned photo session might not take place. Filming had to pass next to Melbourne supermarket Woolworths - his leadership first took the idea of ??Tunic with enthusiasm, but now changed his mind, writes The Guardian.

Their position in Woolworths was explained by the fact that the stock may prevent their buyers.

The tunic was supported both by the inhabitants of Melbourne, and by the local business community, which called the actions of Woolworths "shortsighted, shortsighted and ridiculous". "Their actions at all do not reflect moods in a society. The benefit from the action is obvious to everyone, "- said a representative of one of the Melbourne companies Chrissie Mouse.
