Almost 2,000 people braved frigid weather early Saturday but didn't get cold
feet when they all went naked in the center of gothic Bruges in an art
"happening" organized by photographer Spencer Tunick.
Tunick has been
doing such nude assemblages around the world since
1992. | With temperatures closing in on freezing,
winds lashing the turrets of the city and rain putting a shine on the ancient
cobblestones, 1,950 people shed their clothes at dawn, with many posing in a
street close to the medieval Belfry or touring the canals on boats.
"It was a good feeling, everybody went naked and there was this sense of
togetherness. There was no shame," said Charlotte Logghe, 28.
"It was extremely cold though. We were wet through and through," she added.
In the warmer environment of the city's theater, hundreds of naked spectators
had the cameras turned on them.
U.S. photographer Tunick has been doing such nude assemblages around the
world since 1992. The artist chose Bruges to open the Corpus 05 festival, which
runs through September.
