My memory is that Janet Borden sent me to see a show in SoHo.  “Just go!,” she said.

I don’t think it registered on me what I was looking at beyond an agreeable arc of white, like the trails jets leave in the sky.

Hmm.  I was even skeptical of the sub-title: “Ejaculate in Trajectory”.

Really?  How?

The image is simple and good looking.  For its seeming modesty, it is a beauty.  The arcing was torques as it travels the diagonal of the rectangle.  The ribbon of semen widens as it descends.

It has a tentative and made relationship with Marcel Duchamp “Fountain” and like that predecessor, this early Serrano heralded a new and significant talent.   

When you look through the many projects Serrano has produced over the years and try to separate out the noise of censorship and scandal, you see a life’s work that deals with the essentials, like blood, urine, tears, semen.  He celebrates life and living.  The work is forma dn fully considered.

It is full and unlikely.
