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.

      When it was shown in my state of Victoria, the paedophile archbishop George Pell tried to have it banned and the gallery had to stop showing it after attack attempts and death threats.

      George Pell in his last years was shipped off to the Vatican to work as their head finance guy in order to get him out of Australia and away from the trial he was facing for the lifetime of child sexual abuses the Catholic Church committed under and by him.

    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.
