Religion, sexuality, and death are pervasive elements of his oeuvre. Raised as a Catholic in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, he became curious about the Hasidic community there from an early age. An invitation to Israel also expanded his artistic strategy: using a Mamiya RB67, he approached the subject of religious faith via the landscape and the people. He visited sacred sites, Bethlehem, Galilee, and the Dead Sea; came closer to people step by step, picture by picture, following them through their everyday lives and to celebrations, to ultimately depict the traces of the identity of an entire nation in their faces in intense studio photographs. Striking testimony captured on film shortly before the resurgence of the Middle East conflict.\u003c?xml:namespace prefix = \"o\" ns = \"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office\" \/\u003e\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/FONT\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\n\u003cP class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 10pt\"\u003e\u003cSPAN lang=EN-US style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US\"\u003e\u003cFONT face=Calibri\u003eExhibitions: \u003c\/FONT\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003cSPAN lang=EN-US style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US\"\u003e\u003cFONT face=Calibri\u003eRoyal Museum of Fine Arts of Belgium, Brussels, 18.3.–21.8.2016; \u003c\/FONT\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003cFONT face=Calibri\u003eMEP, Paris, \u003cSPAN lang=EN-US style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US\"\u003eFall 2016\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/FONT\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\n","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49811885261064,"sku":"9783775741248","price":48.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775741248_07ccf888-22e4-4698-9946-7efecc3c4657.jpg?v=1744040764","url":"https:\/\/www.hatjecantz.de\/en\/products\/17867-andres-serrano","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
