/Matthew Barney: Drawing Restraint 9/

2005, 02:15:00, film
Drawing Restraint 9 is a feature-length art film by American artist Matthew Barney, dealing with the relationship between creativity and self-imposed resistance.

Shot in Nagasaki Bay, the film is set aboard the Japanese whaling ship Nisshin Maru. On board is a vast sculpture of Vaseline entitled "The Field", which continually transforms during the film, most representing the oceanic theme of the work. The lead characters, known as "The Occidental Guests", are played by Matthew's partner Björk and Matthew Barney himself.
