Loads Of Naked People Painted Themselves Blue In Hull For Art

Loads Of Naked People Painted Themselves Blue In Hull For Art

Why not, I guess...

Is there anything worse than rocking up to town to pick up some discount toiletries from Wilko's only to find a fucking sea of naked Smurf-people in the road?

I know, tell me about it. Every fucking weekend.

Admittedly, this has never actually happened to me personally, but residents of Hull, England, woke up to exactly that image on Saturday morning.

Coloured head-to-toe in blue body paint, thousands of people gathered for, you guessed it... a modern art instillation.

The instillation was put together by Spencer Turnick who is famous for his ability to get people to strip down and take pictures together - a bit like a non-seedy Terry Richardson.

Called the 'Sea of Hull'. The instillation had the whole town talking:






I'm no great lover of art so I have no idea what Turnick was trying to show with his art but it all looks rather impressive, doesn't it?

And, you know... nakedness.
