Peculiar art on sexuality.

By the way, if you're looking for a fixed star by which to navigate this sprawling artistic endeavor, look to Freemasonry. He's not subtle.

A series of five films, 1994-2002, by Björk's baby-daddy Matthew Barney, this is the most dream-like art I've ever experienced.

"One of the most imaginative and brilliant achievements in the history of avant-garde cinema."

"A mostly tedious succession of striking but vacant imagery whose effect diminishes the longer you look at it."

I saw his exhibit at the Guggenheim a while back. Super interesting.

Yes. I rec'd this ages ago and applaud @hrldcpr.

hrldcpr commented 1 year, 10 months ago

@thudson wait really I searched first I swear!

hrldcpr commented 1 year, 10 months ago

@thud is right, @hrldcpr sucks: hunch.com/item/hn_1761034/

wow, 7 hours for all 5 films is a bit of a commitment. Can it be worthwhile to watch just one? Looks like most of the photos from it show someone vomiting fabric. Am I more likely to enjoy this if I liked “I am your grandma”?

Oh man, I just missed all these comments—the classic artist rec vs the film rec. And alas, @thudson’s rec *also* shows someone vomiting fabric!

hrldcpr commented 1 year, 10 months ago

@peter good question. The one with the fabric vomiting guy (Cremaster 3) is actually pretty amazing, taking over the entire Guggenheim with its crazy dream logic of molten wax, heavy metal, wooden puzzles, and flappers e.g. www.youtube.com/watch?v=goCUZg7IFwA

But visually I really liked Cremaster 2. You can get a low-quality idea here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUWFhLn_SIc

Anyway I'm not even sure if I've seen them all, so you can definitely get something out of it from watching just bits and pieces.
