The above photo is a living replica of the Statue of Liberty, painstakingly recreated with 18,000 people at Camp Dodge in Des Moines, Iowa. The image is from 1918, and is one of many "living photographs" by Arthur Mole and John Thomas, who attempted to "recover the old image of national identity at the very moment when the United States entered the Great War in 1917."
Flash forward to present day, shed some clothes, subtract the nationalist propaganda angle, and you have Spencer Tunick. [via Moneyries. See enlarged image here.]
