This is a making of documentary to Matthew Barney's movie Drawing Restraint 9. While fairly interesting considering the topic the problem with this film is that it reproduces too many explanations from the artist himself. IMHO creative artists often tend to produce highly obscurantist explanations for what they're actually doing, and Barney is a good example. I'd rather have his work speak for itself and have some enlightened connoisseur interpret the results.
Compare Barney's comments to those by his wife Björk's about her music. I definitely had the impression that she much more clearly knows what she's doing than he does.
