The fourth installment of Barney’s ongoing series of Cremaster ‘operas,’ Cremaster 2 is loosely based on the life of serial killer Gary Gilmore. This time out, Barney filmed in the Salt Flats of Utah, the Columbia Icefield in Canada, and New York City. The scenario revolves around Gilmore’s fascination with his alleged maternal grandfather, Harry Houdini, and his desire to join Houdini in the afterlife. This artist’s book of the film comes encased in a molded plastic sheath featuring the emblem of a beehive, a symbol of the Mormon Tabernacle.
