Matthew Barney: Ritual


This photograph, titled "Cremaster 3", is the work of Matthew Barney. Barney is known for his fantastical pieces that have sometimes been described as Freudian. It is apparent by the strange subjects that he portrays that his art comes directly from his imagination after altering personal experiences. "Cremaster 3" is a good example of how Barney has taken something he may have experienced, a british royal guard, and warped it into a representation of his mind.
