Epekto ng Cremaster







How would you enjoy a film that runs for how many minutes, and you were just sitting there without understanding one single scene of it? Weird eh? Yes, that's what we all felt while watching Matthew Barney's Cremaster cycle. It was really "bjorkish (a new term that I created out from her weird gf Bjork)" because of its elicit deeper meaning. But I guess, that's what performance art is. If what Barney made was understandable to the audience, then it'll become a movie but because it has to swirl your mind in order for you to appreciate it, then it becomes an art.


Strange. Odd. Peculiar. Different. That I guess is the artist's ambiguous approach in order for the Cremaster cycle not to be understood.Ü
