After the referent of the four thousand people who posed naked for the camera of photographer Tunick, the author addresses the physical intimacy unmasked and also proposes stripping behavior, and expose the full extent of what we are and what we lack. He postulates that the weakness of the individual bodies undertakes the strength of the mass, the revolt, the challenge. Once crossed the threshold of prohibitions and inhibitions, the performance would be an act of political provocation, with a recovery of what no longer belongs to us because educational, commercial, economic, military and political institutions, have usurped and capitalized. Our biology is shaped by the institutions. This text breaks down the many facets of the body.
