Continuing the theme and motifs from his Cremaster Cycle and marrying them with whaling - sperm, sperm whale, wax, blubber, amber gris, etc., Barney creates some stunning images accompanied by Bjork's score. All the rituals are loooong drawn out, but luckily, there are no repetitions of images or movements. I can't think of an art project that is this big in scale and ambitious yet quite coherent. Drawing Restrain 9 is quite an experience. #MatthewBarney #Bjork #drawingrestraint9
Our next clip (https://youtu.be/k1m2_q3tRQU?si=b9IykcONUncYjSdD) is from “Drawing Restraint 9” (2005), the collaboration between Björk and her then romantic partner, visual artist Matthew Barney. It tells a Shinto-based love story and is somehow also about the history of Whaling
