According to Chongqing Morning Post, the performance art, named @41, is completed by 41 young students standing nakedly in the shape of "@", then falling down like dominos.
But the performance of the students - from the Sichuan Conservatory of Music and Chengdu Academy of Fine Arts - has caused a huge debate in China.
The organiser and director of the performance, known only as Zhang, commented on the college's website: "As the dominant power for the future world, youth is responsibility; youth is power!"
Another participant, Mr Li, also defends their art form: "It's a breakthrough. Not only to my art creation, but to our social ethics."
Many people however are opposed to their work and have been speaking out on various news websites in China. One such comment reads: "It's a seduction to youth. The organisers should be severely punished, since they do this porn stuff under the label of art".
Another disgruntled member of the public remarks: "If naked is art, then taking a shower in the bathroom is much better. Psychos!"
