GOP Convention Protests Start Off Esoteric and Nude (VIDEO)

Unattractive nude people photographer Spencer Tunick jetted back from posing a thousand naked fat British people in aquamarine body paint for his latest art installation: 100 naked women holding up reflective mirrors across the river from the GOP convention. There’s a Facebook video covering the entire process. An emotionally moved onlooker relays a ton of undecipherable statements about the power of women but isn’t quite clear what’s up with the mirrors, the naked women, and why they’re assembled on a cold Cleveland riverbank a day and a half before the start of the convention. That’s usually territory reserved for dead and mutilated bodies.

Spencer Tunick’s own site reveals some more cryptic explanations:

The philosophy of the artwork relates to the idea of the sacred feminine. By holding mirrors, we hope to suggest that women are a reflection and embodiment of nature, the sun, the sky and the land. We want to express the belief that we will rely upon the strength, intuition and wisdom of progressive and enlightened women to find our place in nature and to regain the balance within it. The mirrors communicate that we are a reflection of ourselves, each other, and of, the world that surrounds us. The woman becomes the future and the future becomes the woman.

That clears it up. Also, just how much pussy do you get out of these projects? Art installation is an industry term that means I’m getting tax payer money to round up frumpy chicks at dawn to take off their clothes. Also, people doing shit with crucifixes not prescribed in the bible. Let this be a message to the large number of GOP convention protestors to follow — find a guy with any advertising experience to work on your official message. Make it short and sweet and include the word “atrocity” if you want any traction. Chunky women in front of mirrors looks more like a Curves promotional spot than a pathway to gender-politics enlightenment. Not an entirely wasted effort. I bet Tunick got paid
