Suspension 4 Cremaster 4 (1995)
The setting of Hanging Wire 4 borrows from a European island called Isle of Man, which has celebrated autocross races annually since the sixties, as critic James Lynnwood puts it: "The myth and image of the island of humanity in the work derives from his highly mature language of rituals, acts and symbolism, which constitutes the illusory world in the film." Hanging Wire 4 is both a story (or a picture) about the island and the artist on the island, and a form of narrative discovered by the artist himself."
The film begins on an island in the style of Norse mythology, where planes are constantly shooting a hundred meters long artificial sea corridor leading to the sea, and at the end of the corridor is a huge white-hued sea house. A man with pig ears and red hair and three red-haired banshees danced bitterly in this big white house, combing their hair and putting on their shoes. Meanwhile, in another scene: on a highway that runs east-west in a green continent, two racers are racing in a funky car and sping in opposite directions. Then, the film crosses the scenes of two scenes: a pig-eared man and a red-haired banshee in a large white house struggling and writhing; a racing car through the wilderness amid the roar of an accelerator...
Matthew Barney depicts a kind of imaginary suffering that is not like the specific enemies of the early days of capitalism: capitalists, commodities, machines, and money. Now, these symbols are no longer ethically difficult to clearly criticize. Everything causes suffering, but everything cannot find the source of suffering. Moreover, in the contemporary era of globalization, this suffering is accompanied by beautiful visual consumer culture and the sensory comfort of the body.
