So appropriate for it to have taken place in “the dead sea.” Lol. Let’s see how jewish humour holds up.

Shortly thereafter I took my wife for a day at the same beach. The installation made us more aware of the situation, although we had heard about a plan to remove minerals from the bottom in order to save the hotels at Ein Bokek.
For my report on the installation, see: http://trifter.com/asia-pacific/jordan/spencer-tunicks-dead-sea-installation-an-insiders-view/

It is my understanding that this is his way to lobby and raise awareness, and in so doing, bring in those much needed funds. Have you checked out any of his other installations around the globe?
Respectfully, T

I applaud his effort as I do the citizens who participated. The world is becoming cognizant of elite greed and only the people will win in the end through clean energy technologies, which BTW, began via Steve Jobs and his communication company Apple.

I mean that experiencing the nakedness, participating in a shooting, are good enough reasons to participate, and the aesthetic value of it is all the reason the artist needs, but grafting the angle of saving the sea on it is extremely naive at best, dishonest at worst, and eminently futile otherwise. What’s needed here is funding and lobbying, I fail to see how this installation helps with either, if it doesn’t prove to be detrimental.

Just doing the installation straight forward for the sake of Art seems to me a whole lot more honest and honourable.
