Naked States
VN:F [1.9.8_1114]
Rating: 0.0/5 (0 votes cast)

Naked States is a humorous and provocative examination of one artist's dynamic work and its relevance within the cultural biography of America, documenting one man's journey as he traveled each of the 50 states to ask Americans of all races, shapes and body sizes to take off their clothes and pose in public, all for the sake of art. Artist Spencer Tunick's subjects are not paid models, but ordinary citizens. The film exposes America's current attitudes towards nudity, sexuality, body image, and all the other baggage that arises when we disrobe.
Why It's FilmBuff
Other countries have been known to look at America and ask why we're so squeamish about our bodies. We don't mind seeing our hero decapitate people, but goodness forbid we see too much of their naughty bits! This movie makes us examine ourselves and our own hangups while also embracing our bodies in whatever shape they come in.
