His images have been celebrated, vandalised and even discussed in Congress.

Serrano talks about photographing Donald Trump two decades ago and discusses how the former US president has continued to feature in his work. He also tells us why, when dealing with hot-button issues like race and religion, his work is so often misunderstood.
