Spencer Tunick Finally Took Those Naked Vienna Soccer Stadium Pictures

Iconic nudie photographer Spencer Tunick explored the gloriousness of the human body this weekend in Vienna’s Ernst Happel stadium, home of the Euro 2008 final. 1800 people arrived with clothes to discard and bums to expose, carrying with them a smudge of flippancy towards conservatism in Austria. You know, they could have announced a mad orgy. That would of riled up them conservatives. Spencer Tunick had other plans.

Tunick spoke to his models over the public address system, telling the men and women to spread out in sections of the stands and strike different poses. He told them not to smile or laugh and to remove sunglasses.

The stadium stages seven matches of the Euro 2008 soccer championship, being jointly hosted by Switzerland and Austria next month, including the final on June 29.
“This very special ephemeral installation that we are inviting you to be part of is devised to capture and combine the spirit of sports, the grand sweeping waves of stadium architecture and the abstract relation of the human form to modern structures,” Tunick said on his website.

Whatever you need to convince yourself this isn’t about the spectacle, brah. We’re a bit perturbed that humor isn’t involved. Because we’re giggling a bit at what’s below. Enjoy your lunch!
