More than 2,000 people lay on the ground naked in downtown Montreal for an American artist staging a nude group photo shoot authorized by local authorities. Artist Spencer Tunick, who specializes in taking shots of nude crowds in urban centers, had expected no more than 300 people to answer his call for volunteers for photographs that will be featured next month at Montreal's Museum of Contemporary Arts. He has conducted similar group photo sessions in cities such as San Francisco, London and Jerusalem and displayed his works around the world. "I use the body as a shape. It's using the body as an art object, not a sex object," he said.
