Anonymous Artist Creates Online Defense of "Piss Christ"

REPORTAGE

AUSTRALIA - An anonymous artist has protested the destruction of Andres Serrano’s infamous photograph Immersion "Piss Christ" (1987) by distributing their own interpretation called The Resurrection of Piss Christ online. Launched on Easter Sunday, the artist has offered the image for download at resurrectionofpisschrist.com and encourages the public to republish, reuse and re-purpose the image as they wish. Unlike Serrano, who used his piece to make a profit and gain notoriety, the artist wishes for the work to rise above petty incentives and to spread as a protest against those who threaten free speech.
