Naked by the hundreds in the vineyards to denounce climate change

(AFP) - 19 hours ago

DIJON - Hundreds of volunteers will pose naked on Saturday in the vineyards of Burgundy, in front of the lens of American photographer Spencer Tunick, the organization Greenpeace announced Thursday, to "raise awareness" of the dangers of climate change.

This event, organized two months before the Copenhagen climate change conference, will take place in the village of Fuissé (Saône-et-Loire) in the heart of a prestigious Mâconnais vineyard, nestled at the foot of the Solutré rock.

"The impacts of climate change are already being felt all over the world, particularly in France, on the terroirs and the vines, with the early harvest, the hailstones and the repeated heat," Greenpeace explains in a statement.

According to the ecological organization, "the increase in alcohol and sugar content due to global warming is already disturbing the aromatic complexity of the wines. And if nothing is done today, the vines will move 1.000 kilometers of here the end of the century ".

For Greenpeace, "it is up to everyone to make their voice heard or to make their body speak" by posing nude by "hundreds in a vineyard near Mâcon", in front of the lens of Spencer Tunick.

The "extraordinary work" of the American photographer "will make it possible to sensitize many people, citizens and politicians, in France as everywhere in the world", concludes Greenpeace France.

Spencer Tunick is famous for his staging of collective nude photos in public places around the world in the heart of natural and urban sites (New York, London, Melbourne, Montreal, Vienna, Amsterdam, Lyon) by questioning the relationship between man and his environment.

Among these most spectacular pictures are those of thousands of naked people in Mexico City in 2007 or Barcelona in 2003.

Spencer Tunick and Greenpeace made some 2.300 Swiss citizens climb the Aletsch Glacier, at 600 meters, in August 2007, to alert public opinion to the melting ice.
