2. FREDERIC FONTENOY— Alkama (blood & milk) 2003 | 2 images
   in Fontenoy’s words: “Alkama is an experiment, related to alchemy… The vital fluids, red and white, male and female, female or male, mingle—the experiment is whether they will interpenetrate or reject.”  these photographs capture the moments when the two body substances first come together
   
3. JORDAN EAGLES— BAR 1-9 2009 + LIFE FORCE 2008 
   layers of Blood preserved on plexiglass, UV resin, the process of layering blood and resin in this manner (at times up to 3 inches thick) allows for the creation of depth, luminosity and texture. 
4. ANDRES SERRANO— blood and semen V 1990 + bloodstream
