This made it the largest artwork Tunick had created in the UK, ahead of previous installations at Gateshead in 2005 and Salford in 2010.
It stated an intention to gather "hundreds of naked people",[4] although Tunick later said: "I needed around 2,500 to 3,000 [volunteers] to do this work and 3,200 came.
"[4] Volunteers arrived at a meeting point in Queen's Gardens, near the city centre, at 3 am on Saturday 9 July 2016.
[5] The first photographs were taken at Queen's Gardens Rosebowl, where volunteers formed a giant circle around the flowerbeds to represent water flowing around a ship's wheel.
[3] The following day, on Sunday 10 July 2016, a smaller group of volunteers was taken by bus to a field on the south-east side of the Humber Bridge, where a further installation was created and photographed by Tunick.
