Photographer Saudek makes 218 naked bodies jump / Saudek foti 218 skakajicich nahacu

Jan Saudek/ www.galery.czA worldwide known Czech photographer Jan Saudek created yesterday historically the biggest Czech group act. 218 naked volunteers – including Jan Saudek himself – gathered on one of the Olomouc’s vacant green pastures with the oldest participant of the group being as old as 74 years. According to the photographer’s orders the crowd was told to jump in the air as they were being photographed. The finished art piece will be available in Olomouc’s gallery Podkova starting September 19th. Also, the artist decided to give 100% of the profit to a local charity which plans on building a park and a children’s playground. And what will the “Adams and Eves” get as a gift of appreciation for their participation? Each will receive a personal digital copy of the final piece. Saudek claims that the event itself was not just an exhibition but first and foremost it was supposed to “honor human body and the art associated with it”.

Jan Saudek is a twin of yet another well-know artist Kaja. Kaja Saudek art concentrates on drawing comics. He is considered the pioneer of comic artists in the Czech Republic.
