Urin combines Frauke Joanaās visual explorations of urineās various material and social cultures with four ranging essays by Ari NĆelsson. Images of kinksters engaged in watersports emerge as part of a wider dialogue with poetry that mocks the oral hygiene of antiquity, Alexander Pope crossing streams with Lyndon B. Johnson and the Ghostbusters, and questions of infrastructure that bring us into constant view of Vespasianās truism, when introducing a tax on the urine collected from Romeās latrines to be sold to the tanning and dyeing industries, that āPecunia non oletā ā money doesnāt smell. Taking a wide-angle view on atopic inarguably universal to the human experience, Urin explores how this common wellspring quickly flows into a mess of particularities and contradictions across lines of gender, sexuality, medicine, language, industry, and urban planning, each emerging droplet catching the light in a different way.
