Exhibition catalogue Andres Serrano. Torture, presented at the Collection Lambert, Avignon (3 July - 25 Sept. 2016).
Although torture is in fact banned by the 1949 Geneva Convention and the United Nations Convention Against Torture, it is still employed by 81 governments.
In this new series, Serrano takes on the role of the artist searching for new tangible forms of representation, but also the symbolic role of the executioner, as though to get as close as possible to the inexpressible. Beginning with a methodical study of objects and machines devoted to torture since the Middle Ages, where each new discovery is envisaged as a disturbing still-life, he then focuses on symbolic places of torture, from prisons to the Stasi’s interrogation offices, and the death camps, to finish by an attempt to represent mental torture.
