Visitors to a new Royal Academy exhibition must squeeze between two nude models to enter it.

The unusual installation is part of a career retrospective of Serbian performance artist Marina Abramović.

There is a separate entrance for those who are uncomfortable squeezing through the nude performers.

The exhibition has otherwise received mixed reviews from critics - the Guardian called it "vital" but the Times said it was "remorseless".

Entering between the two naked performers forces those with tickets into a "confrontation between nakedness, and the gender, the sexuality, the desire", the Royal Academy's head of exhibitions Andrea Tarsia has said.
