Andres Serrano was another artist that I found that used bodily fluids in his work. On this occasion it was a photograph of a crucifix plunged into a jar of piss. This piece of work created a big outrange among Christians because of his disrespect towards Christ. But after reading behind his meaning I can understand what he was implying.
“The thing about the crucifix itself is that we treat it almost like a fashion accessory. When you see it, you’re not horrified by it at all, but what it represents is the crucifixion of a man,” Serrano told the Guardian. “And for Christ to have been crucified and laid on the cross for three days where he not only bled to death, he shat himself and he peed himself to death. So if Piss Christ upsets you, maybe it’s a good thing to think about what happened on the cross.” (Holpuch, A. 2012. The Guardian.)
