I am really just learning about this festival. Here is a shot blurb that mentions 25,000 spectators and 324 painted bodies. This is pretty major and why I am devoting a thread to this....

Devolanivsky Uzviz was the venue of the rather frivolous festival which attracted 25 thousand spectators and journalists who enjoyed a colourful show of young bodies that offered themselves to be turned into living, and walking, and posing objets d’art. 106 artists from 16 cities of Ukraine and from several countries of the former Soviet Union decorated 324 beautiful models with bold and polychromatic designs, employing their imagination to the full. The human body is not a canvas and, on the one hand, imposes certain limitations upon the artist who paints his or her picture on it, but on the other, offers three-dimensional possibilities, which a flat canvas cannot provide. To give the body-art artists a general direction to follow, a motto was devised — The Whole World is the Theatre.
