Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Over the weekend American artist Spencer Tunick completed one of his most ambitious photographic projects to date when 1,200 nude volunteers modelled for him in the Dead Sea, Israel before dawn on Saturday.
It was his first Middle East mass shoot and Israeli tourism officials hope the project will help draw attention to the Dead Sea in a competition to find the new Seven Wonders of the World.
The Dead Sea is competing against 27 other natural sites around the world in the finals of the New7Wonders of Nature online global campaign after beating 440 other nominees.
Tunick is famous for organising large-scale nude shoots and since 1994 he has organised more than 75 human installations around the world.
The idea is to gather individuals en masse without their clothes on, and Tunick directs them into groups to form amorphous shapes.
