Andrés Serrano tackles race through portraits that represent the different faces of the USA in his series America, which evolved as a reaction to the terrorist attacks on New York and Washington and a question regarding who is considered American or not. Serrano’s preoccupation with color is reflected in this series, particularly in the pairing of America (Chloe Sevigny) and America (Snoop Dogg), which take on the function of ciphers that play reductively to type in a bright representation of a unified and equalized USA. The series is driven by a continuing belief in the American dream and the way in which, for Serrano, it unites people from a large and varied geographical and cultural map.
