  • Catalogue Essay

    “The photographs, drawings, and sculptures radiate outward from the narrative core of each film installment. Barney's photographs—framed in plastic and often arranged in diptychs and triptychs that distill moments from the plot—often emulate classical portraiture... They exist independently from the films, but embody the same content—now expressed in space rather than time.” (N. Spector as quoted in Matthew Barney: The Cremaster Cycle, New York, 2002)
