I watched a pretty interesting program tonight on HBO about a photographer named Spencer Tunick. He's most well known for taking nude photographs of up to 5000 people at a time. During the program, I was trying to figure out for myself what I would classify his work as. Art? Pornography? Biology? A political statement? At first I was hesitant to say art for the same reason I don't like calling a randomly splatter painted white canvas art, because just about anyone could pull it off and say "I'm an artist". The photos themselves aren't anything more than just normal pictures. But then I realized simply that the fact I was even pondering it probably makes it art. Art is meant to make you think, provoke discussion and controversial debate, and invoke emotion. It's the same reason Eminem is art. What do you think?
