Tunick Releases Nude Mardi Gras Image 

Photographer Spencer Tunick has released his highly anticipated photograph of some 5,000 nude Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras revelers that he shot at the Sydney Opera House in March.

The Base is New York-based Tunick's attempt to create a "human base" for the Opera House, he said. Tunick is known for posing large numbers of nude people at iconic locations around the world.

Each of the 5,200 participants will receive a copy of the photograph. Click here for more information.
