CREMASTER 2 is rendered as a gothic Western that introduces conflict into the system. On the biological level it corresponds to the phase of fetal development during which sexual division begins. In Matthew Barney's abstraction of this process, the system resists partition and tries to remain in the state of equilibrium imagined in Cremaster 1.

The american iconography is at its most present here, it turns a western flick into an incredibly horny and surreal experience. Really don't know how to phrase it, others did it much better than me.

Matthew Barney’s sojourn across the US offers very little in the way of provocative imagery or even little by ways of confusion, creating an atmosphere that is more dull than elusive and engaging.

Perhaps more strange nudity around bees?
