He said he chose to cover the models in white paint to evoke the Biblical story of Lot's wife, who was said to have turned into a pillar of salt. About 200 people followed his directions, both men and women, standing straight and stooped, some thin and some rotund. On Sunday, Tunick posed his subjects on stony brown hills overlooking the turquoise lake. By the time Tunick returned five years later, the placid waters of his first shoot had receded, leaving behind crusty sand and gaping sinkholes. Israel and Jordan have diverted much of the upstream water for agriculture and drinking water, while mineral extraction and evaporation accelerated by climate change have made the problem worse. Tunick depicted more than 1,000 nude models a decade ago on the shores of the salty Dead Sea, which is receding at about a metre (yard) a year. "For me the body represents beauty and life and love," said Tunick, who has staged dozens of large-scale nude shoots around the world. "Hands down." The 54-year-old photographer visited Israel as a guest of the tourism ministry to portray for the third time the shrinking Dead Sea via nude subjects. "Everyone put your feet together," he said. As for Tunick, dressed, in black, he stood on the roof of a recreational vehicle and issued commands on a megaphone.
