Immersion (Piss Christ) Wiki A 1987 photograph by the American artist and photographer Andres Serrano. It depicts a small plastic crucifix submerged in a small glass tank of the artist’s urine. The piece was a winner of the Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art’s “Awards in the Visual Arts” competition,[1] which was sponsored in part by the National Endowment for the Arts, a United States Government agency that offers support and funding for artistic projects.

    I’m no urologist and maybe it’s just the photo, but I feel sorry for the person that pissed that piss.

    Controversial because the artist tried to fight anyone informing them that “piss shouldn’t be that colour” and “please go see a doctor immediately”, presumably.

    Kinda reminds me of Taoism (love me some Taoism):

    Master Tung Kuo asked Chuang Tzu, ‘That which is called the Tao, where is it?’ Chuang Tzu replied, ‘There is nowhere where it is not.’ ‘But give me a specific example.’ ‘In this ant,’ Said Chuang Tzu. ‘Is that it’s lowest point?’ ‘in this panic grass,’ said Chuang Tzu. ‘Can you give me a lower example?’ ‘In this common earthenware tile,’ Said Chuang Tzu. ‘This must be its lowest point!’ ‘it’ s in shit and piss too.’ Said Chuang Tzu.
