Abstract

The Cremaster Cycle film series by American artist Matthew Barney has often been interpreted as a visionary work due to its striking figurative heterogeneity and wide range of quotations and references. :rough a semiotic analysis, this article explores the relationship between this multiplicity and the solid anchoring to profound categories that constitute the core values of the cycle. Cremaster thus becomes a paradigmatic object for exploring a specific form of “enchanted meaning” that pursues systematicity and coherence through its variety and visual appeal.
