Since the beginning of the nineteen eighties, Andres Serrano has addressed the contemporary world’s most controversial issues in his images. El dedo en la llaga offers works from the first retrospective held in Spain on his oeuvre. Body fluids, exclusion, fanaticism, religion, illness and death are present in this book. The forcefulness of his images is supported by advertising mechanisms both in lighting and particularly in his use of brief, eloquent language. This retrospective catalogue presents 60 colour photographs, one to a page, taken between 1984 and 2003, providing an overview of the work of this controversial photographer. Also includes an extensive biography.
