Lot Essay

Cremaster is part of a series of five films directed by Matthew Barney. The title refers to the cremaster muscle. In this first film, the character, a young woman trapped under a table inside a blimp, flies over a football stadium. She composes figures with grapes that are reflected in the stadium by dancers, in the manner of a 1930 musical. Like Salvador Dali or Luis Buñuel, Matthew Barney creates quirky, avant-garde imaginings full of myths, symbols and metaphors.
