(DUBLIN) — An American photographer wants 100 people to pose naked in Dublin’s historic O’Connell Street, the heart of the 1916 Easter Rising, media reported Friday.
Photographer Spencer Tunick, who last year snapped 100 models nude in central New York, wants Dublin to be his next naked city as part of a European tour, the Irish Mirror said.
But Tunick may face opposition from city officials who are trying to clean up the image of O’Connell Street.
They have mounted a campaign against British sex shop chain Ann Summers that set up a lingerie outlet opposite the General Post Office, where Irish republican forces held out for five days against British troops in the 1916 rebellion against British rule.
