Hand-dyed gelatin silver print, in artist’s frame, in fifteen parts
In Blood and Piss, Gilbert & George present their naked bodies against a backdrop of vivid reds and yellows, transforming bodily fluids into powerful symbols of life. Part of The Fundamental Pictures series, the work uses a grid of fifteen panels to deconstruct the image, creating a fragmented, abstract reflection on identity and the human condition.
The artists confront societal taboos by elevating biological elements—once considered repulsive—into emblems of existence. The result is a bold commentary on life, vulnerability, and the body’s role in shaping our understanding of self and society.
