- Spencer Tunick, Mexico City 3 (Zócalo, MUCA/UNAM) (2007): no, believe it or not, this is not a doctored photo, though it looks so perfect in its sheer immensity that it could be a Gursky composite photo. Tunick gathered over 18,000 nudes in a public square to create this piece. The artist calls these mass nude gatherings "installations" but for those of us viewing the documenation, they seem to function more like performance.

- Zadok Ben-David, People I Saw But Never Met (2017): wire frame sculptures of contour sketches of individuals the artist has seen but never met.
