It doesn't feel sexual, it just feels tribal, a gathering of  humanity."  Anna Bruce, 28, said shedding her clothes seemed "really normal".  "It was easier than I expected, it was really normal, there was no  problem with getting our kit off," she said.  Scott Faulder, 19, said the installation was "just another excuse to get  naked".Source-AFPTRI</blockquote>
