Matthew Barney

This picture by Matthew Barney is amazing in its capture of brilliant dynamism in the absolutely still medium of photography.  As an athlete and master of many visual art forms, he has united his interests with his talents to form this truly masterful image.  This cluttered, almost futuristic room, combined with the man's flying, triumphant pose, imparts to the viewer a certain hopefulness along with feelings of  awe, particularly toward the power of the human body.
