Carousel

On a carousel

Carousel an attraction of enjoyment, seen at fun fairs. Aren't they sinister?

There is an uncanny presence about the rotating horses. Glorified and garish, they spin round and round all facing one direction the horses appear to have their own personas. The music is errie, haunting almost hypntoic.

Thinking about the idea of the rotating merry-go-round. I am intrigued that if the function was somehow changed. Instead of the horses they are replaced with chairs and dinners trays.

Eating-go-round?

The Order

The Order, Matthew Barney's Cremaster cycle 3

Artist Matthew Barney in his tartan attire plays the apprentice in 'the order' a 'death defying race' to the top of the Gunnenheim Muesum. The order is like a kind of game where Barney is confronted on each level with obstacles trying to deploy his plan to reach the top. Going through the 'five degrees' of the order.
The game is timed by an melting vaseline beginning on the 5th degree. Barney must be reach the 5th degree before the molten vaseline reaches the first degree.
