LOL
I thought briefly about playing off my stupidity as a joke - but decided to just own up to it. Obviously I've just been puzzled by the 'piss christ' and never realized it was just a photo.
Well damn - i always thought it was THE jar of piss with the pic . . . and it always stumped me as to how it wasn't a health code violation. LOL
So - if I can have this false assumption (because obviously I developed and opinion about it a long time ago and have never read a single article since then on the subject) then just how many other people are like me - stupid and thinking it's actually the jar of piss?
I bet you I'm not the only one.
But now I know - now my educationed is rounded out quite nicely.
It's okay. Most people in non artist circles tend to think it's literally a statue of Christ in a jar of piss at the exhibit. I seriously doubt that the artist took the picture of Christ in an actual jar containing piss. He probably used water with some food colouring. Bodily fluids/body parts don't really lend themselves well to art exhibits unless highly processed or faked and they're just unnecessarily messy for a photograph.
