However upon reading this i have come to understand and accept the reasons behind the work itself. It is quite true that in our daily lives as Christians or non-Christians we are living the sort of lives, and doing the sort of things that are so vulgar and dishonorable that we might as well, pee on Christ ourselves. Also i think it is important to note that the way that Christ died was very grotesque and dirty, not at all as how it is portrayed in sculptures and paintings where Christ has one stab wound, and trickles of blood down his face. It was so much more gut-wrenching than that, and i think that this artwork portrays that element of humanity about Christ. at first i was completely disgusted by this artwork, i thought that Andres Serrano was just going for shock value alone, just wanting to be noticed.
