Naked Sydneysiders of all shapes, sizes and colours have gathered on the steps of the Sydney Opera House this morning to be the subjects of an art installation. About 5,000 people disrobed for Spencer Tunick's work called The Base, which is part of Sydney's Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras Festival. Tunick is famous for shooting images of people massed together sharing one common element - nakedness. Those taking part include rugby league players, doctors, teachers and a woman pregnant with twins who will be induced later today. Participants arrived in the early hours of the morning, excited to be involved in the event. Shots have been taken of people standing with their hands in the air, embracing and lying down. The work aims to promote equality and diversity in the community.
