Lettering

Imágenes contra el SIDA. Artis. Paris - France. Nelson Garrido. A complex image incorporating a blood-like red glutinous form (in which sperm appear to swim upwards) which forms part of the back of the ram and stretches up towards the planet but the blood flow is stemmed by the angel figure; the central planet may represent the circular shape of the condom; reference to the ram (which appears to drip blood as if being sacrificed)suggests the power and strength of the male; the serpent appears to attack the back of the ram while the knights appear to come to the rescue
