Spencer Tunick on set with the women
Spencer Tunick is known for his nude photographs and has taken it to another level again, this time women were seen standing with their head as they were all completely naked in the pictures.
The project is show how the US's Republican presidential candidate Mr Donald J. Trump will turn the world upside down.
Some of the pictures are shown below:
It was about 20 people that volunteered to posed for Tunick's art installation "Inversion" on the outskirts of San Miguel de Allende as part of Mexico's Day of the Dead celebrations.
With the "La Calaca" festival as his latest backdrop, the New York-based artist said the work would reflect how Donald Trump had inverted minds and caused hysteria.
The volunteer models, Mexicans and foreigners, were positioned upside down on a hill at Rancho Los Senderos aided by metal rods that had been driven into the ground to provide support, Mexico News Daily reports
"Trump is inverting our minds and causing us a nerve racking, internal hysteria," Tunick told reporters.
"I think we’re living in a tough and turbid world right now where things are turned on its head."
The shoot came as colourful floats and hundreds of performers took to the streets of Mexico City held the country's first Day of the Dead Parade - inspired by the James Bond film Spectre.
More than 100,000 people hit the streets and participated in the spooky event .
Organizers of the event say they drew from the opening scenes from last year's Bond installment.
The parade also included a phalanx of Aztec warriors with large headdresses doing tricks on roller-blade skates.
But while the parade was inspired by recent history the movie was shot in Mexico City the Day of The Dead has deep roots in the country.
In a take on the Catholic events of All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day, the idea is to ask the souls of their loved ones to return from the afterlife.
The tradition can even see families hold picnics in cemeteries beside the graves of loved ones.
But the parade today was considered a more colourful event than the normal celebrations.
Mexico Tourism Board chief executive Lourdes Berho said of the event: "We knew that this was going to generate a desire on the part of people here, in Mexicans and among tourists, to come and participate in a celebration, a big parade."
