Photos: 3,000 people strip off and daub themselves in body paint

Around 3,200 people took part in a huge art installation in Hull today, pictured, stripping off their clothes and painting themselves blue

This is the eye-opening moment a sea of people took part in a huge art installation after stripping off and painting themselves blue.
Around 3,200 people took part in the international project in Hull, involving participants from 20 countries, posing at some of the city's major landmarks.
They caused quite a stir around the city, with hundreds lying down across a road in the city centre while others circled one of Hull's parks.

But it was when they put their clothes back on that caused the most bizarre sights, with models resembling Smurfs as they walked and cycled around the city, some covering their modesty with cardboard boxes.




The models gathered in specific locations across the city including Queen's Gardens, pictured, for the event, which celebrates Hull's maritime history

The 'Sea of Hull' project, pictured, was created by New York-based artist Spencer Tunick and is believed to be the largest of its kind ever to be held in the UK

The installation, pictured, will return to the city in 2017 and is due to be one of the highlights of Hull's UK City of Culture line-up

Thousands of people walking through the streets in various shades of blue, pictured, was quite the eye-opening sight for locals

Arguably it was when the models put their clothes back on that they stood out the most, particularly this smoker, pictured

Another man used a cardboard box to cover up his modesty, pictured, despite posing naked just moments before

The man cast nervous glances around the streets of Hull, pictured, as he made his way back home after the installation

The paint left people looking more like Smurfs as they made their way home, including this cyclist, pictured

People young and old took part in the installation, which created 'unforgettable memories' according to the organisers
