Chapter 4 in our photography book was about the human subject and looking at us as the subject with the theory from the beginning of photography to now. I choose Andres Serrano and Inez van Lamsweerde as the two photographers that I wanted to compare. They both commenting on subjects that have to deal with being human. Serrano's work may not be portraying a human in his THE TRIUMPH OF SHIT series of photographs but he is looking at social taboos that we as a society come to agree a pone. Even by having other animals in comparison is commenting on things such as evolution and our own place on this Earth that we are still animals and wouldn't even be able to separate us from the animals. As for Lamsweerde when looking at the image of the two girls ideas of human altercation ideas begin to pop up. Human modification or genetic oddity's is very human. As technologies advance we are trying to strive for a perfect human and standard that we could achieve.
