“Cremaster 1”, by Matthew Barney, 1995, film cycle, part 1 of 5 chapters / dedicated website / on the Cremaster Cycle / “Nancy Spector has described the Cremaster cycle (1994–2002) as “a self-enclosed aesthetic system.”“, source

“…Its five constituent films, produced between 1994 and 2002, have been characterised by their author as filmic sculptures, though the Cremasters are to sculpture what physiology is to anatomy. You are encouraged to see them in the order in which they were made. That is: Cremaster 4, 1, 5, 2 and then the final work, 3: the pentalogy’s huge centrepiece and, at three hours long, sufficiently gigantic and mad to qualify as epic all on its own. The aggregate running time is over six hours. …”

documentary “Paris is burning” by Jennie Livingstone / “body / no body” lab: drag / via & thx to @RosaManueal

“Paris Is Burning is a 1990 documentary film directed by Jennie Livingston. Filmed in the mid-to-late 1980s, it chronicles the ball culture of New York City and the poor, African American and Latino gay and transgendered community involved in it. Many consider Paris Is Burning to be an invaluable documentary of the end of the “Golden Age” of New York City drag balls, as well as a thoughtful exploration of race, class, and gender in America.”

Umberto Eco

“On The History of Ugliness”, conference by Umberto Eco / “body no / body” lab: “as it says on the tin” /

“In “History of Beauty,” Umberto Eco explored the ways in which notions of attractiveness shift from culture to culture and era to era. With ON UGLINESS, a collection of images and written excerpts from ancient times to the present, he asks: Is repulsiveness, too, in the eye of the beholder? And what do we learn about that beholder when we delve into his aversions? Selecting stark visual images of gore, deformity, moral turpitude and malice, and quotations from sources ranging from Plato to radical feminists, Eco unfurls a taxonomy of ugliness. As gross-out contests go, it’s both absorbing and highbrow.”
