Andres Serrano — Piss Light
Andres Serrano

Piss Light

A provocative work by Andres Serrano, *Piss Light* continues the artist's enduring fascination with bodily fluids as both sacred and transgressive material. True to Serrano's signature aesthetic, the piece likely employs light filtered through or reflected upon urine, transforming an abject substance into something visually luminous and unexpectedly beautiful. The work challenges viewers to reconcile their visceral discomfort with the undeniable allure of its imagery, a tension central to Serrano's practice.
