Mathew Barney works with film, video, installations, sculpture, photography, drawing, and percformance arts. He thinks of himself as a sculptor mainly though. A lot of his most famous works seem to be short films though. The actors are dressed very strange and colorful in an oriental style. His work is filled with all sorts of different symbols and meanings as well and can be compared to surrealist artists.
Mathew Barney's work is very eye catching and different to say the least. I'm curious to know what his films are about and what the characters do and how they act. Some of the characters that he has created I feel are pretty interesting but some of them are a little overboard I do feel. I also feel that thirty or more minutes of is film might start to get boring though. I'm also kind of curious why he calls him self a sculptor when most of his famous works are films, maybe its because he thinks of the costumes as sculpting himself.
