Who are all these blue people and why are they walking around naked in the middle of a chilly British summer? These naked Smurfs, of course, participated in the creation of another work of modern art.

The idea of this surreal art installation belongs to the American photographer Spencer Tunick. His ideas combine elements of vivid performances and even to some extent sculptures, as it is not the first time he has organized the appearance of many naked people in public.

For Spencer's latest project, more than three thousand volunteers were not afraid of the coolness from the North Sea and walked around the city of Kingston upon Hull completely naked, and their bodies were painted blue.

The project was named Sea of Hull ("Sea of Hull"), because it was assumed that the crowds of blue people walking around the city would resemble the ocean. This is the largest art installation featuring naked people in British history.

"I can't believe it. It was cold, chilly, and people needed to apply lotion—like paint on their bodies- on every part of their body. It's so beautiful! We are little strokes of paint. We are all equal," Tunik said.
