Sea of Hull is the title of a photographic installation artwork created by New York-based artist Spencer Tunick in the UK city of Hull on 9 July 2016.[1] The work was commissioned by the city's Ferens Art Gallery to mark Hull's status as UK City of Culture 2017.[1] It also sought to bring attention to rising sea levels propelled by climate change.[2]
The installation featured 3,200 volunteers, each one being naked and body-painted. This made it the largest artwork Tunick had created in the UK, ahead of previous installations at Gateshead in 2005 and Salford in 2010. Volunteers had registered from around 20 countries.[3]
