    I admire your bravery!!!

    I don't know if I'd be more afraid of my cellulite being seen by the world, or other bits! Infact, it wouldn't even be the world, I'd be afraid of anyone I know in Cork seeing said picture ................ or worse, standing there, totally starkers, ready to pose and recognising somebody standing nearby.............

    Best of luck to you all and may the sun shine brightly that day - so that everything hangs/stands/sits etc. etc. where it should!!!

    Well, accorrding to the helpful website, they've done this enough times to know how to do it as painlessly as possible - i.e. the area is sealed off from random onlookers; you're only naked for a very short period of time, etc.

    I decided to mention it because the real interesting question is WHERE its going to take place (its a secret up until very close to the day). Now I noticed the director of the Midsummer festival had a short blog ( http://corkmidsummer.blogspot.com/ )about the Spencer Tunick thing on the Midsummer website and he ends on a very peculiar note which , I think, may be a hint as to the location:

    "After two days scouting in and around Dublin the four of us got the train back down to Cork to start the second part of this epic scout. In the taxi on the way from Kent station to the Hayfield where they were staying I asked the taxi driver to take a detour up to St. Luke’s and down Patrick’s Hill to see the magnificent view of the city at night." ENDS

    Cork is far too small to be entertaining the notion of taking part in something like this. There's about a 97% possibility that a portion of people you know casually will be there, people you may work with or people you deal with in a business sense on a day to day basis. Personally, I wouldn't want any of the above groups seeing me in my birthday suit.

    As himself above said, what if you stick out like a sore thumb in the photo once it's taken? Oh dear. You may be immortalised in art, but err, you'll be nekkid as the day you were born. Y'know that nightmare people have about turning up to important functions only to discover they're naked? Oh dear oh dear.

    Fair play to you. i think cork is way way too small the likelihood is you could end up (butt)cheek to cheek with your next door neighbour. no thanks mine are not that attractive. the mortification if you stood out in the pic might cause me some sleepless nights.

    I wouldn't do it, looking at the previous pictures on the website there's an awful lot of very close physical contact involved. I'd be uncomfortable with that with my clothes on, never mind off. I can't imagine 1000's participating in the Cork one. Could be wrong though.

    Oh dear,
    sounds like a lot of Cork people have something to hide/be ashamed of :)

    The chances are you'll meet someone you know, but so what?? they'll be naked too and chances are they'll think it was just as cool an idea as you do.

    I've signed up and will probably do it!
    I know its one of those things that I will regret not doing if I don't.

    I signed up too, but I'm still not sure I'll go through with it.

    I did the Franko B naked thing a few years ago, but that was one-to-one. And part of me has been a postcard, but that was anonymous. Currently considering Dublin instead on the basis that Cork is a very small place, even for someone who isn't particularly shy.

    B. Corks a small and nosey place, there are going to be a lot of folks turning up 'for the craic' and just to have a gawk at who's doing it.

    You can't stand still in Cork for 5 minutes without people you know passing. I don't want to be standing around in the nuddy around them - going out would never be the same again...

    Anybody who's registered heard back from these people yet?

    They were supposed to contact people two weeks before the 17th.

    I could start to loose my nerve if I don't hear something soon :)

    No; nothing. I wonder if they got too few people signing up? Would be nice to know if it is/is not going ahead.

    Hi I'm not from Ireland but would still like to go to the Cork nude photo session. I love that kind of art. If you're also going, message me and we could go together. We could before the shoot.

    I'm male 28.

    Hi all - i signed up for the Dublin installlation and the email about the location is due to be sent to everyone on Wednesday 11th - he sends out the emails 10 days before the shoot so that the location wont leak! Cork participants should recieve their mail today at the latest - if not get onto them it would be a pity to miss this opportunity of a life time!!! I hear loads of people of signed up more than they expected so it wont be too embarrassing getting your kit off if there are thousands doing it with you!!!!

    Spencer Tunick will be doing a final site visit this weekend to determine the most optimal times for the Dublin installation and shoot. All Dublin participants will receive an email confirming the time and location of the installation, meeting points, maps and release forms on MONDAY 16TH JUNE. Thank you for your patience.

    i was wondering where my mail was so log onto the site - phew Dublin still on just a small delay - wonder where it is anyone any ideas??

    The volunteers will be on-site for about 7 hours but the participants only for 5 or so. The session itself may last only 1-2 hours. Participants will be naked only for a short period of time.
