Sometimes I feel like I am an explorer, sometimes I feel like I am a criminal, sometimes I feel like I am an artist. I create my work under very stressful conditions. While a lot of work done by contemporary artists is very controversial, I feel that my nudes are not controversial. The controversy lies in the fact that I am using the city as my landscape. The conditions in which I create my work are tense, crazed and unpredictable. My models are urban adventurers. I assist them in seeing the world in a different way. I create dreams and I create memories that they will hold with them forever. Spencer Tunick May 30, 1997
