| River of Fundament: a film by Matthew Barney and Jonathan Bepler |
As the Luminato Festival did with Marina Abramovic in 2013, this year's program provides a complete view of ground-breaking artist Matthew Barney and longtime collaborator and composer Jonathan Bepler. The cornerstone of the festival's multi-point Barney celebration is his latest film River of Fundament, developed with Bepler and loosely based on Norman Mailer's towering 1983 novel Ancient Evenings. The film is an epic story of regeneration and rebirth that was conceived as a contemporary opera; it combines documentary footage of three live acts in Los Angeles, Detroit and New York, with live-action cinema.
