Body fluids in art
A relatively new trend in contemporary art is to use body fluids in art. Examples include: The controversial Piss Christ (1987), by Andres Serrano[?], which is a photograph of a crucifix submerged in urine; Self (1991, recast 1996) by Marc Quinn, a frozen cast of the artist's head made entirely of his own blood; Piss Flowers, by Helen Chadwick (1991-92), are twelve white-enamelled bronzes cast from cavities made by urinating in snow; many paintings by Chris Ofili, which make use of elephant dung (from 1992).
