Pretty, reminds me a little of the colours in Nicholas Lampert's work, the surreal landscape that is formed from extreme close ups of objects. I wish he had come up with a better title. I would have suggested Fecoids. The titles of the individual works are awesome though; evil shit, Freudian shit, mother shit, self portrait, Hieronimus Bosch Shit... the list goes on.
His photos are quite intense and involve a lot of bodily fluids and rude bits.
Ever heard 'rude box' by robbie williams? ridiculous.
Serrano does not digitally manipulate his photos, they are all technically excellent and he is right to say that 'effects are always better when they're real'-source
Andres Serrano on Artnet is the best place to see images and find information on this BC.
This article is also what i would call ka pai, 'The interpretation of Dreams'... gives a good description of his latest works and what it is like to see them in real life and larger than a computer thumbnail.
