About this product

Product Information

Cremaster 3 , the last in Matthew Barney's epic five-part film project, is part zombie, part gangster film. Set in 1930s New York and Saratoga Springs as well as Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland, the plot explores the Irish mob system, freemasonry, and Celtic lore as further symbols for the forces at play in Barney's mythological system. Named after the muscle that raises or lowers a man's testicles in response to temperature, the Cremaster series has featured Barney as a satyr, a magician, a ram, Harry Houdini, and even famous murderer Gary Gilmore, props made from tapioca, petroleum jelly, ice, and self-healing plastic, and settings as fantastic and desolate as the Isle of Man, an empty football stadium in Idaho, and a nearly empty opera house in Hungary. The films are slow-moving and weirdly hynotic, full of elaborate sexual and biological allusions, references to sports and fashion, and a bizarre mix of autobiography, history, and private symbolism that have earned him comparisons to Wagner. This book is the final of the five companion volumes published to coincide with the release of each of the Cremaster films. Each was designed in an original manner by the artist and features photographs and stills from the film it accompanies.

  • Cremaster 3: The Coffee Table Version

    About the book itself: This book is listed as a paperback, but has sort of a stiff-paper / thin-cardboard type cover. Many pages in the book, which is about the size of a legal pad turned sideways, fold out to create a WIDE panorama of stills. One thing I can say about the book: the press / publisher did no go overboard choosing a high-quality bind, and many of the photos run right into the inner edges of the pages, leading to some two-page spread panoramic shots being elided by the lack of full separation in the middle of the book. Note to the geeks: if you planned on plunking down $15 or so to get a sweet shot of the Gary Gilmore female zombie scanned and on your desktop background pronto, you will end up disappointed--there is no clear large shot that doesn't span / border on the ...

    This book is quite the pictoral display of Barney's Cremaster 3. It's an amazingly detailed book with high quality photographs and it gives you a good sense of how the film plays out. I highly recommend it for anyone who enjoys Barney's work and also recommend purchasing any other book that deals with Barney's work.
