Mr Baines actually called for volunteers to attend the photography session dressed in their own clothes. From his website
Sunday 27th of June at 7 am, Artist Andrew Baines will create his latest Surreal Human Sculpture! To participate you will need to wear a dark suit, white collar shirt and tie and bring a dark umbrella, brief case optional! (no shoes or socks required)
Not really that much different to Spencer Tunick is it?
