Matthew Barney is an interesting artist, he explores topics that straddle between the ordinary and the absurd. In his film series, Cremaster Cycle, he creates imaginative environments that represent male and female sexuality.Barney acts as director, producer, actor, and artist. throughout this theories he dresses as various characters such as a satyr, a magician, a ram, Harry Houdini, and the murderer Gary Gilmore. I found a video of him on Art21 and YouTube where he describes the Cremaster Series. .
I enjoy Barney's work because how different the content is and how absurd and frivolous the visuals are. I may not understand the content of his work BUT I can't helped to be awed or snared by his imagery.
