Renowned American photographer Spencer Tunick is working on a new art project. The project is called 'Gran Spectrum' and takes place on Gran Canaria. Tunick wants to make a clear statement for LGBTI rights.

Hundreds of people participate in the project. The participants are naked and painted with bright colors. Together they form different queer flags. Think of the rainbow flag and other well-known LGBTI symbols.

Spencer Tunick is world-famous for his large-scale photo projects. He photographs large groups of naked people in special locations. His work always has a strong message. With 'Gran Spectrum' he wants to raise awareness for LGBTI rights worldwide.

Gran Canaria is a popular destination for LGBTI travelers. The island is known as an open and welcoming place. This location is therefore a logical choice for this project.

Everyone can participate in the art project. There are no special requirements for participation. Tunick invites people from all backgrounds to take part. This fits with the message of inclusivity and equality.

The project shows how art and activism can go together. Through art, people can raise awareness for important topics. LGBTI rights are still under pressure worldwide. In many countries, LGBTI people face discrimination or persecution.

With 'Gran Spectrum' Tunick wants to show that diversity is beautiful and powerful. The colorful human flags become a strong visual symbol. The project will hopefully attract international attention for the fight for equal rights.

Do you want to participate? Everyone is welcome, regardless of age, gender or background. More information about participation will be available soon through Spencer Tunick's official channels.
